THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN BUYING A USED MOTORCYCLE

Here are a few tips from xBhp and Castrol POWER1 that you must keep in mind when making a decision about buying a pre-owned motorcycle.

WHILE everyone would like to go for a new motorcycle, if given a chance, sometimes a used motorcycle may very well be your best bet. The reasons can be many; budget constraints, the choice of motorcycle, category of motorcycle that one may be looking for, and sometimes, an irresistible deal. Buying a used motorcycle can be a boon or a bane, depending on how one goes about it. And in order to make the process a little easier and to make sure that you do not get a ‘lemon deal’, xBhp and Castrol POWER1 have come up with a few pointers that one should keep in mind if they decide to go for a used motorcycle.

A motorcycle has a lot of moving parts so wear and tear are imminent. How well someone has taken care of their motorcycle is the key. While a motorcycle may look all tidy and shiny on the outside, it is the innards that are the real deal. And that includes everything from the chassis to the electricals but most importantly, the heart... the engine.

Something as simple as the choice of engine oil of the previous owner can reveal a lot about the condition of the motorcycle. As an example, at xBhp, we love our motorcycles and take care of them to the best of our abilities and so, Castrol POWER1 is the engine oil of our choice. It makes sure that the engines of our motorcycles are in good health and therefore, ensure longevity and performance.

Moving on, here is a list of things that you should always keep in mind to make sure that the used motorcycle that you have set your eyes on is just as good on the inside as it is on the outside.
