MOTORCYCLE PARTS - THE AUTHORITATIVE LIST OF MOTORCYCLE PARTS

If you want to extend the life of your motorcycle and make the most of it, you should check and replace certain parts frequently. If you are a motorcycle fanatic or professional, we have compiled a list of parts you may want to consider keeping.

Brake pads

There is no set frequency for how often you should replace the brake pads. The service life of brake pads depends on many factors, such as how often you ride, how gentle or aggressive the riding style is, and the style of riding.

Brake pads should last thousands of miles under standard use, and in some cases can last more than 10,000 miles. The physical indicator will tell you if you need to replace the disk.

Unless you know exactly what you are doing, never mess up the brakes on your motorcycle, they will help you slow down and stop the bike.

BUY: Bike Accelerator Wire.

Battery

The battery on a motorcycle is usually a completely unnoticed part until it fails. Normally, the battery will be used for several years, but before then it may fail from time to time. There is nothing worse than being unsuitable for cycling, sitting on a Motorcycle, turning the ignition switch, and nothing happened.

When the battery stops working, always check whether the battery is exhausted or whether it is indeed damaged, and then put the battery fully upright.

If you need to go out to ride a Motorcycle, on the track or don’t have time to investigate the problem, then having spare batteries on hand will make your driving smoother.

A quick guide to replacing motorcycle batteries:

Locate the battery. It is usually located under the seat; however, it may be elsewhere on the Motorcycle.

Unplug the cables (make sure they do not touch)-first, unplug the negative cable (usually black) marked with a (-) symbol. Then remove the positive cable.

Remove the battery. Do not dispose of old batteries by yourself, take them to a recycling centre. Motorcycle batteries contain toxic liquids that are very harmful to the environment.

Put the new battery in place and reconnect the cable-first connect the positive (+) and then the negative (-).

As with any part of a motorcycle, unless you know what you are doing, please take it to an expert.

Fork oil

Forklift oil is often forgotten by motorcycles. Ensuring replacement of the front fork oil will make the front fork system healthier, avoid wear, and reduce the chance of leaking seals that can cause oil to enter the front brakes.

Depending on the manufacturer, they will recommend intervals to change the fork oil and the amount that should be used.

Generally, the manufacturer recommends replacing the fork oil every year, but if the Motorcycle is used in track and field, on dusty roads, or driving many miles, this repair should be performed more frequently.

Chain

Don't stress that chain maintenance is the first thing you should learn when you own a motorcycle. If your chain is not properly installed under the correct tension and lubricated, the engine cannot transmit power to the wheels.

Generally speaking, a well-maintained chain should last 20,000 to 30,000 miles, but some of them only last 5,000 miles. Like almost all parts on a motorcycle, the life of this part is determined by your riding style, frequency and maintenance.

The chain should be checked every time you ride a bike, it is as important as brakes or tire pressure.

Here are some signs that your chain needs to be replaced:

Rust-The surface of the chain will quickly show signs of rust due to moisture, but if the pins and rollers show signs of rust, then it is time to consider a new chain.

Bends-Bends in the chain show signs of weakness. These kinks indicate that the seal no longer blocks dust and forms a weak point in the chain, making it more likely to break.

Noise-A healthy chain makes almost no noise. Hearing the chain creaking or creaking indicates that something is not right.

Chain wear/stretch-As time passes, the links in the chain will wear out. This will prevent you from properly adjusting the tension on the chain. If this happens, there is no turning back and you need to replace the chain.

Fortunately, changing the motorcycle chain is one of the straightforward things to change the bike, so putting a spare motorcycle on the shelf will keep you riding!

Cable

Cables such as brake, throttle and clutch cables on motorcycles are some of the most common parts that need to be replaced. Over time, the cables may wear out, become dirty, or become stuck. It is recommended to replace cables such as clutch and throttle cables every three years or every 10,000 miles.

If the "worst-case" occurs, which is to disconnect the cable while riding, Venhill will provide a series of roadside motorcycle cable repair kits, including the throttle cable and the inner clutch cable. The roadside repair kit includes a variety of wires and wire accessories, which can quickly and easily replace broken or broken internal wires.
