The fall can bring great muddy slopes that are fun and challenging to tackle, but when the ground and air start freezing, it’s time to put the dirt bike away for the winter. If you don’t have alternative cold-weather sports that you do the winter may seem like a giant drag, but in reality it’s a great time to get your bike in immaculate shape.
Why the Winter is Great for Buying Used Dirt Bike Parts
Before storing your bike it’s important to clean it thoroughly (including filters!) and check for any visible damage. If you’re taking a few months off from riding your dirt bike, you have the perfect opportunity to figure out any problems that you need to fix or improvements that you want to make.
Once you identify the parts that you need, it’s time to go shopping. One of the benefits of not riding for a while is that you can spend time finding the highest quality parts at the best price. You may first want to check your local suppliers, but don’t be suckered into paying too much for sub-standard parts.
You can also look online for used dirt bike parts. If you have friends who are part-saavy, ask for recommendations of where they like to buy their used dirt bike parts. You can also use informational websites or blogs to seek out advice and buying tips for the specific brand and style of dirt bike that you ride.
Another great tip for buying online is to scout out what you want, compare prices, add the products you want to your cart and sign up for the website’s newsletter, and wait a day or two.
Companies will often take extra efforts to market to those who have already showed interest in their products, so you will very likely see an ad or coupon in your email or displayed on Facebook after you have scouted out what you want.
Taking the time to shop around will ensure that you get the best dirt bike parts at the lowest cost to you. If you’re planning improvements or major repairs, the off-season is a great time to shop because you won’t feel rushed into buying something sub-standard.
