I’ve been burned by each new and used vehicles, bikes, and powersport machines earlier than. Something at all times appears to go unsuitable—perhaps it is me and my wanton lack of mechanical empathy?—which is why I like having a very good guarantee for something I buy.

But not all warranties are created equal and KTM and Husqvarna need to lengthen their present fashions’ lifetimes with a particular guarantee extension program. There’s only one catch, you must begin going to the rattling dealership to get your providers accomplished. 

According to KTM, “By simply having a service performed at any authorized KTM dealer, riders can get extra coverage for their motorcycle courtesy of a new worldwide promotion. Additionally, the warranty period for KTM PowerParts and KTM SpareParts for ALL street models will be extended to 24 months. These warranty extensions are free of charge.”

As for Husky, the model acknowledged, “To extend the two-year warranty to four years, riders around the globe simply have to get their motorcycle serviced at an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer. Additionally, the warranty period for Husqvarna Motorcycles Spare Parts and Technical Accessories for all street models will be extended to 24 months. Best of all, these warranty extensions come at no additional charge.”

These extensions, nonetheless, solely cowl a choose set of bikes. For KTM, these fashions embrace all 2024 LC8c-equipped bikes (the KTM 790 Duke, KTM 790 Adventure, KTM 890 Adventure, KTM 890 Adventure R, KTM 890 Adventure R Rally, KTM 890 SMT and the brand new KTM 990 Duke), in addition to LC8 STREET and TRAVEL fashions (the KTM 1390 Super Duke R, KTM 1390 Super Duke R Evo, KTM 1290 Super Duke GT, KTM 1290 Super Adventure S and KTM 1290 Super Adventure R). 

Husky’s choices will embrace all 2024 Norden 901, Norden 901 Expedition and Svartpilen 801 fashions. 

Both manufacturers acknowledged that they “at all times advise [their] prospects to make use of the official networks to get their bikes serviced, purely as a result of the employees are skilled on these explicit fashions and use authorised elements and equipment the place relevant. This means [they] can guarantee the absolute best high quality and worth preservation of the bikes.”

These extensions additionally embrace every model’s spare elements and equipment, which is able to now carry. full 24-month guarantee from the date of buy. 

While I’d love for every model to supply these warranties to prior mannequin years, I get why they’d begin it with the 2024 fashions. These are going to be the simplest to provide a thread of guarantee work and inspection providers. Start contemporary, go from there. There’s additionally profit from getting your bike serviced at a dealership versus doing it your self or at an area storage, as if dealerships get a nasty rap, in addition they are way more skilled in your particular machine and that would lengthen the lifetime of your using.

But what do you all assume? Are you going to move to a seller together with your new KTM or Husky and take the manufacturers up on this promotion? Or are you simply going to maintain doing what you are doing? Sound off within the feedback under.
