Motorbike Warranty Policies so you can keep cruising

A motorbike warranty is designed to protect you financially in the event of an unexpected fault on your bike. This means that eligible faults can be covered by your warranty provider, ensuring you’re not left out of pocket when the unforeseen happens mechanically or electrically.

Insurance is protection that covers financial losses as a result of an accident, damage or theft, for damages to your motorbike and/or a third party; an insurance requires you to pay a premium and is a legal requirement.

A warranty covers failure of the parts within your motorbike, such as those that might cause a breakdown. Having a warranty isn't a legal requirement for motorcyclists, but it can provide peace of mind.

Manufacturers motorbike warranty

When a motorbike is made, it will be sold with a fixed-term manufacturer’s warranty, whereby they will cover the cost of eligible faults if something goes wrong with the bike within that time period. 

Independent dealer motorcycle warranty

If you’ve purchased a motorcycle from an independent dealer, you should still receive any remainder of the manufacturer's warranty, or you could be offered a used motorbike warranty if the manufacturer cover has expired. 

Extended motorcycle warranties

Often, taking out an independent warranty for your motorbike as the manufacturer’s warranty ends can ensure there’s no gap in warranty coverage - so even the most ill-timed fault with your bike can be claimed for.

Whether you commute on two wheels, or your motorbike is the spare-time activity that you look forward to throughout the week, mechanical or electrical problems can be a pain. Bikes new and used can have their moments, and parts and labour are often eye-wateringly expensive; used motorcycle extended warranty can either be sought independently or provided by your used motorcycle dealer to protect against unanticipated costs.

The age and mileage of your motorcycle are the characteristics that can influence the cost of a motorcycle warranty, but regardless, they’re reasonable in comparison with the amount you could be paying if something goes wrong without a warranty to protect your pocket.

Protecting your motorbike can be quick and easy. All you need to do talk to one of our advisors to get a quote and get set up, or drop us an email on sales@warrantyfirst.co.uk.

Unexpected faults can happen at the most inconvenient of times, but knowing you're set up with a warranty can really take the load off.

Your policy certificate will detail the level of cover your bike is protected by, and therefore what is covered. Your other option is to give our claims team a call, and they’ll be able to answer your questions.

No, all we ask is that it has had its most recent service, and that you keep it serviced in accordance with the maintenance schedule for the make and model of your bike for the duration of the warranty policy.

No, you should leave that to us, otherwise your claim will be invalidated.

Get in touch with us either online, over the phone or via email, and then once we've confirmed that the fault will be considered, you should get booked in with any VAT registered garage to diagnose the issue, and provide a cost estimate for the repairs. Once we have approved the estimate, we will authorise the work in accordance with your warranty plan. 

We may need your V5 certificate of ownership, invoices from previous repairs, as much detail about the fault as possible, and/or the bike's service history.

Our plans start at £20 per month.

Yes! However, you can not opt for recovery once your policy has gone live.

Either we will pay the authorised VAT registered repairer directly, or we'll pay yourself as the plan holder. Any deductions stated within your policy will be made from the amount payable.
