As my GSA 1250 is coming up to 3 years old I'm considering extending the warranty. Does anyone know the current cost...
Warranty cost gsa 1250
- Thread starter hairysteve
- Start date
If you go on the BMW website I think it will tell you
Just had a look on your link, just inviting to get a quote....
I’m currently paying 45 quid pm for my tc gsa 47000 miler ,did think of cancelling it but whenever I’ve made a claim it’s been faultless.then again I’ve only made two claims ,it does give you full European recovery and breakdown cover .
Same here. Absolutely faultless. I'm in year 3 of my BMW warranty but will definitely get the extended version. These posts always bring a range of opinions but I'm a believer that if you can afford it, just do it. All that tech crashing up and down shit UK roads - what could possibly go wrong?

I’ll be in the same boat in a few months, when my GSA turns three years old. However, the £1000 maximum claim limit does not seem that attractive, for the cost of the policy
- Maximum claim limit is up to the market value of the insured motorcycle at the time of claim or up to a maximum £1,000, whichever is greater, inclusive of VAT.
I think you have confused yourself as I read 'Which ever is greater' which to me means if your bike is worth less than £1000 then you can only claim up to a £1000, but if the market value is more and is insured for that then they will pay out above £1000 upto the price its valued at with the insurance

I think you may be right there
Sometimes I think they do it on purpose mateI think you may be right there
I’ve had lots of extended warranty claims ( ECU , and recently ABS unit , Throttle body, Brake master cylinder ) and only done 30k miles.
The total of those claims , I guess, is covered by 7 years of premiums at £44.10 pcm.
My bike is like ‘Trigger’s Broom ‘ and the warranty will cover me for the next Europe trip .
Note , suspension not covered after 30k miles .

Except you have to pay repair costs up front and claim them back in the UK
Just under £400 (£395 ish)
That's full breakdown, and extended Warranty (breakdown is Europe wide)
There's a £100 excess on any claim tho
Not too bad value if you plan a 2 or 3 Euro trips in a year
I'm still not 100% about the servicing tho, I had intended to go to Rainbow Workshop for my servicing (instead of main dealer) but it's a grey area. I wasn;t trying to save money by going to an "indie", just thought I would get better service, and a better job done

It's worth noting that BMW exclude some stuff, like throttle assy, and suspension if over 30k miles!!!

I have no excess on my policy ( I’ve double checked ) and have never been charged for any recoveries or repairs or parts replaced.
Could be special terms though .

Never understood why anyone would pay for extra warranty
Put that money into a savings account each month, Then if something does go wrong, use it? ....... Rather the money in my bank than the insurance company

Mostly due to a single claim will be well over the yearly payment of around £400Never understood why anyone would pay for extra warranty

I've had my bike just over a year and had to claim twice, one would have easily taken it over the £400 because of labour charges.
Currently savings rate is 5% a month (on an instant access) would bag you next to nothing after tax

I agree, Although all insurance is a risk. Some lawfull, However, and I must just be lucky, But i've never taken extended warranty, And never needed it. So saved myself a small fortune over the last 38 years. Its similar to buying a new TV, they always try to sell you insurance, which I never do. The bottom line I guess, Is do whatever makes you feel comfortable with. But Ill keep my money, Cheers
Absolutely agree and it really is the luck of the draw as I have never needed insurance on previous bikes but it seems this one likes to give me a little anxietyI agree, Although all insurance is a risk.
