  1. 5 Relevant Questions To Ask When Buying A Second-Hand Bike

  2. Buying a used bike is not a simple task for everybody. Some people do experience some sort of anxiety and doubts pertaining to the price of a used motorcycle along with its condition. Few find the dilemma of not deciding on a particular second-hand two-wheeler for meeting their riding purpose. As a result, several individuals end up making the wrong choice of a used bike, spending some more money on repair, and selling the bike in a short span of time. Therefore, it is important for you to thoroughly inspect the condition of a second-hand bike and ask relevant questions from the owner. So, here in this blog, we will be sharing with you the information of asking five particular questions from the existing motorcycle owner and getting the required answer before moving forward.

  3. 1. Do you have the existing motorcycle title in your Name? The first and foremost thing you need to ask from the used bike owner is the real-time ownership or title of the motorcycle. That means you need to ask for the name mentioned on the Registration Certificate of the motorcycle. Asking this question is relevant in terms of knowing the real owner and further preparing the NOC document along with the transfer of ownership paper for the legal possession of second-hand motorcycles. Therefore, it is important on your part to know the exact title of the interested used motorcycle, before purchasing the same.

  4. 2. Can you leave the motorcycle in cold conditions & then start it? Another important thing that you must ask the motorcycle owner is to start the cold engine of the motorcycle. There is a specific reason to start the used bike in a cold state. Generally, when the bike's engine is in hot condition, then some of its mechanical issues cannot be rectified at the moment. On the other hand, the cold-conditioned state of the motorcycle might provide you the signs of battery issues, starting problems, unexpected sound of ticking, grinding, or something else. Therefore, start the motorcycle early in the morning or at night to know the real-time issues.

  5. 3. Can you check the exact tire pressure?

  6. 3. Can you check the exact tire pressure? The tires of a second-hand motorcycle can give you a complete overview of the ride along with particular signs of regular maintenance. You must check the air pressure inside the tire to know whether there is any wear or tear. Also, if you see the following signs, then get to know that the owner has not maintained the motorcycle for a while. Peeled rubber at the edges of wheels. Wavy weavy pattern. Removed numbers on the wheels. ● ● ● If you see the above signs, then do not buy that second-hand motorcycle and move towards another option.

  7. 4. Is that possible to peek under the seat? One more significant question and the permission to ask from the motorcycle owner is peeping under the seat of a bike. It is required to look at the current wiring condition along with the status of the battery. Signs of any extra wiring underneath the motorcycle seat will prevent you from buying the same. It will also showcase the exact condition of the bike's suspension, starting functionality, and electricals. Moreover, it is in the best interest of motorcycle owners to inspect the wiring and other things underneath the seat with the help of a professional mechanical expert.

  8. 5. Can I take a short ride on the second-hand bike? Last and the most important question to ask the motorcycle owner is taking a test ride of the bike and that too for the next 15-20 minutes. It will help you know the braking functionality, acceleration, sound, or any other unexpected thing in a bike to decide whether to buy the same. Additionally, a test ride of the used bike may even take out some new mechanical or electrical issues before buying the ride

  9. Additional things to check in used bike Apart from the above-mentioned questions to ask motorcycle owner, you need to take care of additional things that are as follows: Complete the original documents of the motorcycle. Inspect the mechanical condition of the bike. Do take care of the physical structure of the motorcycle. Do the bike valuation online to check the buying price. Year of manufacturing and brand value. ● ● ● ● ●

  10. Concluding Thoughts Buying a used bike requires strategic planning, research, and a questionnaire to prepare. It is essential to ask relevant things from the owner, before making a final decision. In case of knowing the bike's exact value, rely on the Wheels of Trust (WOT) platform to do the valuation online in a matter of short time. Not only this, you can exchange any brand of motorcycle on the mentioned platform and buy a brand-new Hero Motocorp motorcycle at an affordable price.
