I purchased the extended warranty for my 2010 xtx, paid $899 for it. I have always done all my own mechanical work(cars,trucks,jeeps,boats,sleds etc.. The way i figured it, one failed ecu,starter or track and it's paid for. Two failures and I'm money ahead. Alot can happen in four years and a four stroke should last all of that and still be going strong. I have read that it may go through a few sets of limiter straps and at $109 a set that could add up fast. pray for SNOW!! nytro out.
