#1 | Transferring manufacturer's warranty? datum

Wed Aug 17, 2022 9:30 pm

Just bought myself an R1250RS, which is due to come to the end of its original 3-year warranty at the end of September. It's been exclusively dealer-serviced and is in tip-top condition, so I see no reason for there being any problem transferring the warranty to me, should I need to make use of it. I didn't buy the bike from a BMW franchise though - so does anyone know if I need to do anything know to register the warranty with the mothership? Or does simply transferring the vehicle ownership into my name with DVLA achieve that?

I'm not foreseeing any particular issues, but I'll soon be having the bike serviced (by a BMW dealership) and will try to have them carry out an 'end-of-warranty' check.... also. I'll be putting 3,000-4,000 miles on the bike next month in Europe, so would be reassuring to know I've definitely got the benefits of the warranty (having had occasion to make extensive use of it on a previous European trip!)

Edit: to answer the actual question, yes the warranty is "owned" by the bike not the registered keeper. It will be the bike registration number on their system.

I did not buy my 2016 S1000XR from a BMW dealer. It was just over 2 years old and the warranty had expired (3 year warranty is 2018 on)

I went to https://www.motorrad-warranty.co.uk/ and was offered the "extended warranty". I didn't buy what is an insurance product. Incidentally, even though the bike is 6 years old, I can take out the policy for £35 a month with breakdown cover. After 4 years I have not needed any non-routine repairs on either of my 2016 bikes. That's £3360 in my bank account not BMW's.

Beware the mileage limits on certain components. Remember, it is an insurance policy not a warranty extension. Terms may differ and there is a very detailed PDF on the page after you get a quote.
