I right here...I got a tip from one of the porters at Kawasaki. He said after a year of ownership you’ll get a card in the mail for extended warranty for a year for around $300 bucks. He said he jus keeps extending the warranty on his rides. Beats the $2200 that the dealer wanted for a 4 year plan.
Original warranty is only six months. Will they notify you then ??I got a tip from one of the porters at Kawasaki.

1 year from purchase date is what I was toldOriginal warranty is only six months. Will they notify you then ??
I did not buy the extended warranty also mine is a first year model. I did have one issue since purchasing it.This is an old thread I dug up in a search for the topic so I'm posting here because it asks the exact question I have: Extended Warranty Yes or No?
A little background. The dealer priced the 3-year Kawasaki warranty at $1575 and of course I refused. I went through this on the Wolverine X2 and was able to buy the Yamaha YES 4-year warranty for $599 from a dealer in another state on eBay. $600 over four years is $150 a year, heck yeah I'll do that. Before I left with the KRX the dealer showed me his price in a book, it was $775. He offered it to me for $1100 saying he had to make something on it. I walked. Now I'm looking for something similar on the Kawasaki and I'm not finding them on eBay.
I saw something over at the Wolverine forums where Big Pine sold a KRX warranty for $828. If that's true, that's $276 a year for the three years.
Here's where I'm on the fence. The KRX appears to be over-built for the way I ride. I'm a put putt around guy, even on fast straightaways I'm not goosing it and jumping it will never happen. So I'm questioning the need for the warranty. It's the second year for the machine, etc.
I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
I’m an occasional pedal to floor guy also. I just don’t beat up my machine all the time. Rock crawling for example is not for me. I like to cruise and enjoy the outdoors. Couple hills, little mud, some dunes. I don’t think I’ve ever got the CVT temp over a bar. I passed on the warranty. And as much as I’m on Kawasaki’s radar if something did break, they’d take care of it for me.This is an old thread I dug up in a search for the topic so I'm posting here because it asks the exact question I have: Extended Warranty Yes or No?

Actually there’s a local guy here that has 5000 miles on his. No issues with the drive train. Or anything mechanical for that matter.First, and I don't understand why this even needs saying but it comes up everytime this is asked. The included warranty is 6 months, it can be extended by up to 3 years. You didn't get a 4 or 5 year KPP no matter what your dealer told you.
I would say the warranty is worth it. These machines seem reliable, but there are not enough people with high miles to know yet for sure. A driveshaft or axle is damn near the cost of the warranty. I'm willing to bet I can break at least one before the warranty is up.
