At Chelsea Motorcycles we understand that you want the best for your motorbike. The performance of your bike is greatly dependent on you maintaining your motorcycle. This includes making repairs and undertaking preventative maintenance. Unfortunately, buying new parts can start to become very expensive, leaving some to think they cannot afford to motorcycle maintenance. But have you ever considered the benefits of buying used replacement parts instead? There are lots of reasons why used replacement parts are a better choice than new ones.

Used replacement parts - or new ones?

The advantages of buying used replacement parts for your motorcycle maintenance

There are lots of benefits to buying use replacement parts for fixing a motorbike instead of new ones, here are the main advantages:

  • Price: used replacement parts are much cheaper than brand new replacement parts, making you an incredible saving on money.  While you might think that this will mean they are not as good or won’t last long, actually the parts taken from a bike are cleaned, tested and inspected, before being sold on.  This gives you peace of mind that the used replacement part you are buying for your motorcycle maintenance, is probably almost as good as a brand new one.
  • Fitting: when you buy a new replacement part you might worry that it won’t fit, that it may not be the exact right part and work the way you want it to.  Buying a used replacement part gets rid of all of these worries.  You will know it has come out of a motorcycle and which make and model, so you will know it will both fit and work in your motorbike.
  • Keep it real: by replacing the broken parts of your motorbike with used replacement parts instead of brand new ones, you are keeping the bike real, i.e. as close to the condition you bought it in, with the same parts.
  • Time: it is much easier and quicker to find used replacement parts, saving you time on shopping around for the perfect new replacement part, which can take a while.

Fixing a motorbike with used replacement parts

You might be wondering where you can get these used replacement parts from and why you would want to buy a part from a bike that no longer works.  Well, just because the motorbike isn’t working that doesn’t mean every part is broken. When a bike is sold for scrap, the person buying it will very often deconstruct the bike and remove all the working parts before scrapping the rest.  It makes sense to not waste good and working parts, but to reuse them instead.  So, this is where you can find working used replacement parts, from mechanics and scrap men, as well as from selling sites such as eBay.
