Y.E.S. Yamaha extended warranty?

Completely legit...bought my policy last year for that price. You'll get the official Yamaha paperwork and registration Y.E.S. documentation, they are Yamaha dealers. Buy with confidence and save $$$$

Yes, off of eBay.

I purchase the same warranty thru eBay from Fremont Motorsports last year. Its legit.

And  evitzee is totally right on this......I have purchased Yamaha extended Y.E.S. contracts multiple times for both motorcycle's and snowmobiles. The claim service I got thru Yamaha on a couple of snowmobile related claims was stellar. No worries, go for it!

Production figures are closely held, we'll never know how many have been made/sold and what their failure rate is. The Japanese do a pretty good job of quality control all the way through the process so I suspect the two reported failures are abnormal. I'd like for the posters to come back and keep us informed on how their cases are proceeding.....field fix, rebuild, buyback, something else. So far, crickets from them.

Yeah, noticed you asked for updates on the blown engines, and zilch. Deals with Yamaha might be the reason for their silence; if it continues, that was it. Cause has to be either lack of lubrication or a defective part. I have a strong suspicion which it is, and why, but won't discuss it here. And it'd be exactly what happened to early C6 Corvette engines, but GM never admitted it. And yes, oil is involved, but some ignorant people here can't handle it . Anyway, a Yamaha extended warranty is supposed to give you piece of mind, but if your engine fails, I bet the 2 guys affected by engine failures would disagree. He he. Hopefully Yamaha will get its act together, and always have spare engines available in the near future. Finally, after seeing the translation of that 'warranty', which is 'Yamaha Extended SERVICE' (not warranty), I want to read the entire contract. I'm almost sure it doesn't have the same coverage as the factory warranty, like it's typically the case. I would be extremely surprised if it doesn't exclude many components (mostly electronic) that the factory warranty doesn't. But will report back after I read it. Hopefully it's an exclusionary policy, which is much easier to interpret, since all items not excluded are automatically included. But even if exclusionary, they often incorporate a prorated table on many items. For instance, if your generator craps out at 4 years, and Yamaha has its life expectancy listed as 5 years, you'd only get 20%, meaning it'd be way cheaper to get it fixed outside a Yamaha dealership. Will ask the eBay vendor for the contract. Or if somebody has it already, please post it, for others that might want to read it too. Hopefully I'm wrong, but without the word 'warranty' in there, I doubt it. We'll see .

Dealer didn't have any info, so called Yamaha directly, and they confirmed there're exclusions from the factory waranty (as expected), but they didn't tell me what over the phone (really?). Anyway,  no emails either, so after verifying I actually own a Yamaha covered vehicle, they offer to mail me the info instead, and should get it in 14 days. Will post results after I read it.

are there still benefits to an extended warranty if you flash your ECU? I guess if the engine fails that's void, but almost everything else should presumably be covered. I also bought my nearly a year ago. I assume I'd have to buy it before that year expires (if I'm even still eligible)    

My dealer when asked about how the decat affects the warranty before fitting it said we'd look after you, however the answer wasn't the same regarding a re-flash or re-map of the ecu, as the original Yamaha details get wiped forever. Anyway if anything were to happen, the first thing I'd do is to swap back the cat and servo.
