  2. Are you considering buying a used bike from a reliable vendor or an individual owner? If yes, then test riding the motorcycle is a matter of important concern. Knowing how the bike performs, getting to know its sound, overall weight, brake, clutch, and accelerator performance should be given prime importance. Apart from checking the engine and physical attributes of a used bike along with doing an old two-wheeler valuation, it is further imperative to test the ride for at least 20 minutes. So, here in this blog, we will take you through important tips to keep in mind when test-riding a second-hand bike of your choice. Not only this but here, we provide you with a quick view of the inspection checklist when thinking of buying a used motorcycle. With no further ado, let's get started on the same.

  3. Important tips for taking test ride of a used bike 1. Be prepared in advance 2. Make sure to ease with the bike 3. Check the brake, acceleration, and clutch 4. Ride slowly at first 5.

  4. Follow the checklist to inspect your choice of second-hand bike ● Please examine carefully the condition of the drive chain and sprocket. The chain should have around ¾" of play(up and down), and the sprocket teeth should not wear out positively, the sprocket teeth should look in good shape. A well-built chain with a tight sprocket connection won't move much on the mains anchor. Ask a friend to get on the bike and then verify that the chain is still properly and loosely tightened. It's possible that after prolonged usage it can become a little worn down but the sprockets are not expected to get damaged at all. I guess that implies the bike is very old or not well-maintained. ● If the tire of my bike is all right, it should not display any scars or weariness. It is necessary to maintain a deep tread on the surface. The more worn the tire's center is, the more likely it is that the bike is used for daily commuting on highways. It means the bike is more likely cyberpunk or has been used on the trail when the edges wear down more. ● While in the process of examining the forks, ensure that the brake rotors aren't showing indications of unbalanced tread or scoring. Can you please check the brake caliper to determine how many brake pads are remaining? When riding a bike with spokes, it's important to check the condition of each individual spoke. Hey, just make sure the rims don't have dents, okay?

  5. ● Put the bike on the center stand if you have a center stand available and turn the handlebars sideways. Does the steering head feel choppy or grainy? ● Can you see the frame? If yes, then check it. Another thing to do is to take off the chair to look at what's underneath. The frame has to be perfect; it should not have any kinks, dents, or visible damage. Don't proceed if there are any issues. ● Check the battery: To test the battery, first connect the multimeter to the battery terminals. Then, measure the voltage using the multimeter. It shouldn't be less than 12 volts. It could be a hint to confirm that the voltage regulator is not functioning properly. This would definitely lead to the battery getting fully charged and may get damaged. Yeah, don't forget to take a look at the lights and indicators too. ● Switch off the engine. If you pull out a fuse or two and inspect it, there should be no signs of corrosion. Can you see the battery terminals? How do they look? Do they look shiny or dull?

  6. Concluding Thoughts In conclusion, it is right to say the fact that buying a used bike comprises strategic ways to know its condition, performance, mileage, and taking the test ride. Another imperative factor is knowing the value of a bike from a reliable platform like Wheels of Trust (WOT). On this platform, you can check a used motorcycle's value and even sell the same at an expected price.
