5 Things To Keep In Mind When Buying a Second Hand Motocross Bike

Buying a second hand motocross bike can be daunting process, especially if it’s your first time. Depending on the purchase, it can either save or waste money both in the long and short run.

No matter which model or make you are interested in, you should always do adequate research, observation, and analysis before you make purchase. Also, don’t get scared of asking the questions that will help you understand the true condition of the bike.

Without wasting any time, let’s take a look at the five things that are important when it comes to buying a used motocross bike.

1.       Set a budget

The first important thing when it comes to buying a second hand motocross bike is setting a budget. Having a budget will give you a good idea of how much you can afford to spend.

When you start your search for a motocross bike you will come across many possible choices, which might confuse you. But if you know how much you can afford, you can make a sensible decision. However, it’s good to be a bit flexible with your budget, as you might need to spend a little more than you planned to get a bike in a good condition.

2.       Check the engine condition

It’s obvious that you need to inspect the bike, and the first thing you need to take a look at is the engine. Take a close look at the overall condition of the engine, especially the areas surrounding the valve and engine for possible oil leaks.

In case you see an oil leak, request the owner to allow you to switch the engine on for a while to determine if the leak worsens. If there is an increase in the leakage, it will be a wise decision not to buy that particular bike as it might cause expensive engine repairs in the future.

3.       Look at the forks and brakes

When you are looking at the bike, it’s important that you also look at other things apart from the engine. You will want to know whether you require motorcycle fork tuning and the actual condition of the brake pads.

Simply do a visual inspection of both the things and if you find them in not a good condition tell the owner about it. Both fork tuning and replacing brake pads won’t cost you much so it shouldn’t affect your purchase decision.

4.       Ask a few important questions

While inspecting the bike, you will get the chance to ask a few important questions from the seller. The answer to these questions can help get more background information about the bike, such as long it’s been used and information about its service history. A few questions that you can ask could be:

How long have you had the bike?

Why is the reason behind selling the bike?

Does the bike have an accidental history?

How often has the bike been used?

5.       Trust your instinct

Lastly, trust you intuition. If there is something you feel wrong about the bike or what the seller says doesn’t seems to be true, just walk away from the deal.

During your search you will find many bikes for sale on different platforms, so it’s best to be patient and wait for the right bike that satisfies you from every perspective.
