Buy with confidence: Suzuki introduces service activated warranty

Suzuki have launched a new Service Activated Warranty which, following a service, automatically extends a motorcycle’s care period after the initial three years are up.

To activate the warranty, Suzuki riders need to book in with a dealer within the Suzuki network for the next scheduled service after the initial warranty service expires. The add-on warranty then stays in place until the next qualifying service, and is then renewed, up to a maximum vehicle age of seven years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The extended warranty is free of charge and can also be enjoyed by owners of second-hand machines, even if any original warranty has expired and if there’s been a gap in the service history.

Providing the new owner has their motorcycle serviced at an official Suzuki dealership and goes through an initial Suzuki Motorcycle Health Check, it will gain a one-year warranty. All major components are covered, and it transfers to the new owner if the bike is subsequently sold on.

Denis Houston, Director of Aftersales at Suzuki GB, said: “Customer experience and retention are paramount. The Service Activated Warranty will certainly enhance this, ensuring our customers get the best levels of service, fitment of genuine parts and avail themselves of the expertise within our dealer network.”
