That Is The Question

- An awful lot of guys like myself who own the early 2021/2022 Pan Americas are considering buying H-D's Extended Service Plan...

As a guy that no longer rides harleys, i highly recommend that you purchase the extended warranty.
That's pretty much any bike now though. Kind of sad really, I don't know if it's just too much tech, not enough quality control, or a combination of both. It seems every company is suffering now. Kind of sad really. I hope you're still out there on 2 wheels and thank you for watching!
Peace of mind is priceless
Yep, I think once you extend the warranty, a little of the same feeling you had when you bought the bike returns.
"It has no miles, I won't have to worry about it for a long time!". Thank you for watching!
I don't buy extended warrantees on anything. I put the max (5 years) on my '22 from HD. Even without the "history", the amount of tech on this thing that can go sideways on this (or any other new technology laden vehicle) is just super scary. Definitely not the simplicity of an old school evo.
Same here, I never used to buy extended warranties either. Not on my Evo Sportsters (I miss them occasionally) or my Twin Cam Dyna. Not even on my Aprilia or Kawi. My Road King was 1 year extended but that was with a then new M8 which had occasional "sumping issues".
You're right, a new bike, with lots of tech and a ton more power than H-D's are known for was likely to have teething issues. But it's not just H-D, BMW, Ducati, KTM, even Honda have had issues so at this point in time it's just a prudent move to buy extended warranties on bikes these days. It doesn't make any of these bikes or companies "bad", it's just that more complicated systems can often lead to less reliability.
Thank you for watching!
Certainly thinking about it. My warranty is up in October.
Considering @rmspeedy1775 's comment below having the experience of needing the entire charging system replaced and it running $3K plus labor, it seems like a nice bit of extra insurance. He was happy to have the ESP/extended warranty. Around here, the ESP runs $3K for 5 years, so it would've paid for itself in one shot.
You have some time to think, and they do have a monthly payment option if you want to go that route. Thank you for watching!
I have a 2022 and had the whole charging system replaced. If I didn't have the ESP I would have been out $3000 plus labor.
Oof, $3K is how much the 5 year ESP/extended warranty runs around here! Yours is a perfect example about how an extended warranty these days is another form of insurance. Thank you for watching and for the comment, it really puts the price of the ESP/extended warranty in perspective for a lot of people!
I have 2022, and that happened to me 2mo ago
So I extended my warranty to.
@@Doubletap6996 This is what I imagine is happening to a lot of people. The cost to repair anything now has risen quite a bit and everyone is weighing if the ESP/extended warranty is worth it.
Hearing from people who've had it pay for itself in one go could light a fire under some folks to get it done. I mostly read about things on forums but some people don't frequent them, so youtube is the next best place. Thank you for the comment, for watching, and subscribing!
I put off looking into it. I really need to check, when I bought my 22, I'm pretty sure it HD was giving a 3 year warranty. I've had no major issues , just would like a little piece of mind.
I think the 3 year warranty was in Europe only, though I could be misinformed about that. At this point after being on the forums and seeing some of the comments here, I'm glad I did it.
I've had no trouble but a complete electrical system cook down would've ran 2 different commenters here $3K plus labor, H-D's 5 year ESP runs $3K around here so it would pay for itself and then some on just that failure alone. The fuel pump replacement is $400-600 too. It's not just H-D really, I've said before that I'd do the same on any expensive bike at this point no matter the manufacturer.
If you wouldn't mind letting me know, I'm interested in what H-D ESP/extended warranties are running where you live? By the way, it was nice seeing the Tunnel To Towers poker run and thank you for watching!
A guy i ride with had a 2021 Pan America. He does a lot of his own work on his bikes. He got the extended warranty. That says a lot to me... I also got it one mine.
Overall, I think it's cheap insurance and gives you less to worry about...
I think that's what everyone is doing, I don't think I've met anyone who hasn't gotten the extended warranty or doesn't plan on it when their warranty is close to running out. Thank you for watching!
If it gives you peace of mind and it's priced right then I'd say go for it. When it comes to anything mechanical now-a-days there are no cheap repairs from what I've found. My 2024 Pan America has a lifetime warranty through the dealership, if not, I probably would have purchased something.
A lifetime warranty is super nice, that's a huge score! I'd love to know which dealer this was so I and everyone else knows where to buy their next H-D.
Thank you for watching!
@@Chase_N Gainesville H-D in Florida.
@@ski4ahigh215 Thanks! Hmm, kind of a long ride from the Appalachian Foothills in Ohio, but for a lifetime warranty it might be worth it. I wonder if the warranty would be honored at another dealer if you're out on a trip and have a problem? I'll have to keep them in mind if I buy another bike for sure.
Don't go through HD. You can contact the company they use directly and save a lot of money. Quoted at HD for 3 year ESP $3600. Called the company directly. Knew they were the same because they had the info on the previous one. 5 year ESP $4200.
$4200 is much higher than I was quoted, $3000 for a 5 year ESP plus tax came out to $3300 total at the 2 closest dealers. I wonder if it's a difference in where we live? I'm in podunk Ohio near the WV border (WV is where one H-D dealer resides) and the other is in a rural area in about 50 miles South of Akron, Ohio.
Thank you for the info, it helps everyone and thank you for watching too!
There is a difference because of the bike. My wife has a Triglide and we are out in Arizona.
@@seanhall957 That makes sense. Parts on a TriGlide might run a little more.
ok i have a pan america 2021 and bought the warrenty and have had to replace fuel pump it was covered by warrenty i would get cause pan am do have problems at least 21 models do. If you havnt replaced the fuel pump it will probably go out everyone i have talked too has replaced the fuel pump. i bought a 5yr wannanty for 1500 though harley
I'm still going on my original fuel pump at 10K but I constantly listen for an issue. It seems everyone thinks it's prudent with just about every bike made today which is tech laden, to just get the extended warranty. Like I said in the video, engines and electronics aren't cheap and one bad day can run $10K+ in parts and repairs.
I wonder how much the fuel pump and the labor would cost without the ESP? $400-$500? More? Also, how long are the new pumps lasting? It sounds like you had the same idea I had and just the extended warranty for 5 years. It's fairly cheap insurance all things considered. Thank you for watching!
My 22 PAS fuel pump got very noisy at around 16k miles was replaced under warranty.
Didnt fail but was obviously on its way out.
Most definitely get the full 5year ESP from HD.
If you are keeping your bike for that long for sure.
I just traded my 22 for a 2024 PAS Alpine Green.
Why,because of the upgrades and the color.
My 22 had 24k plus miles on it.
The only thing that went was the fuel pump.
Other than that it was totally trouble free.
Like you I dont see any other bike giving me the enjoyment this one does.
Going on a long tour in August..
@@Chase_N My pump went out at 12500 miles, well it was making alot of noise it never missed a beat as far as running bad but this happened while i was in north Caralina riding around Pisgah national forest . Asheville Harley put the pump in while i waited on it which was 5 hrs but i didn't have a choice and they did me a big favor, i think. Cost was $600 which warranty covered. While i was waiting their was a few guys their and one said his went at 6500miles and the other at 12000miles . the mechanic only had to listen to bike and new it was the pump. When you turn bike on you hear the pump humming well if pump is going out instead of a low humming sound it is really loud you will know if your pump is going out believe me.
@@paulwojnar2291 And I see people say "Nobody rides their Pan Am, they all just sit in garages". 24K and you bought a new one! Enjoy your trip in August and thank you for watching!
Also the mechanic at asheville their rev max guy had said my pump was like the fifth pump he had replaced. Now the labor for the pump was like hour and half shop rate asheville harley is a busy place.I think parts were 400.
