I only bought YES because you guys wouldn't shut up about it. I bought it about 11 months after my original purchase.
It came in handy when my mid-fairing blew off the bike. Easy enough to replace, but an expensive piece. My service manager had Yamaha replace them both after finding cracks on the left side's tabs also. He said there was no point in waiting for it to fall off.
Used it again when I went to change my rear brake pads and part of the outer caliper came off on the bolt. Thankfully, the bolt would still tighten, and again, not hard to replace, but an expensive piece. My dealer got the part and installed it for me. Those two claims paid for my YES.
Last time I used YES was when I mentioned to my service manager that a $14,000 bike's shock should last longer than 30k miles. He agreed, saying his Honda ST1100 with 100k still had the original shock. He took my bike for a spin around the block. Then took the FJR off their showroom and did the same thing. He came back and said, "Well, that's a huge difference. Let me make a call." He called me an hour later to tell me my new shock was on its way.
That was awesome! When we bought our jetski, we were offered YES. I called D&H and got their price. My dealer came to within like $100 and got me an extra 2 years. SOLD! I got a 7 year warranty on my ski, which is totally bad ***!

I got the YES on my '13. Unfortunately, I live in a state that wants to be different than the other of the 49 (they call it insurance here), so I can't buy from any other state. It cost me $650 if I remember correctly.
