What a motorbike warranty covers in the UK

Cover is built around the parts that fail on motorbikes rather than a generic component list. The areas riders ask us about most are set out below, and each is included subject to the plan level and claim limit you choose.

Gearbox and selector mechanism

Diagnosis, parts and labour for gearbox and selector mechanism are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

Clutch basket and primary drive

Diagnosis, parts and labour for clutch basket and primary drive are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

Fuel injection and throttle bodies

Diagnosis, parts and labour for fuel injection and throttle bodies are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

Regulator/rectifier and stator

Diagnosis, parts and labour for regulator/rectifier and stator are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

ABS modulator and wheel sensors

Diagnosis, parts and labour for ABS modulator and wheel sensors are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

motorbike models we cover

We arrange cover for Honda CB, Yamaha MT, Kawasaki Z, Suzuki GSX, Triumph Bonneville and BMW GS, along with most other motorbike variants registered in the UK up to 15 years old and 150,000 miles.

Petrol, diesel, hybrid and fully electric versions are all quotable, and Northern Ireland registrations are accepted alongside GB plates.

Why riders take out cover after the factory term

Most UK bikes cover low annual mileage but sit through wet winters, so electrical faults — regulators, stators and ABS sensors — cause more claims than worn engine internals.

How motorbike warranty pricing works

Motorbike plans are priced at half the equivalent car rate, including the minimum price, so a bike plan is always the cheapest cover we arrange.

Every quote shows the monthly figure and the pay-in-full total before you commit, with no admin fee added at checkout and a 14-day cooling-off period after purchase.

Making a motorbike claim

Take the vehicle to any VAT-registered garage in the UK, including a marque specialist or franchised dealer. Ask them to send us the diagnosis and estimate, we authorise the repair against your claim limit and labour rate, and we settle with the garage directly wherever possible so you are not left funding the bill and waiting for a refund.

Frequently asked questions

Is a motorbike warranty worth it in the UK?

It is worth it when a single realistic repair would cost more than the plan. Most UK bikes cover low annual mileage but sit through wet winters, so electrical faults — regulators, stators and ABS sensors — cause more claims than worn engine internals.

Can I use my own garage for motorbike repairs?

Yes. Any VAT-registered garage in the UK can carry out the work, including motorbike specialists and franchised dealers, as long as the repair is authorised before work starts.

Does a high-mileage motorbike still qualify?

Yes, up to 150,000 miles and 15 years old at the point cover starts. Motorbike plans are priced at half the equivalent car rate, including the minimum price, so a bike plan is always the cheapest cover we arrange.

How quickly can motorbike cover start?

Cover can begin immediately after purchase, or on a future date if you are waiting for a manufacturer or dealer warranty to expire first.
