About Motorcycle
Motorcycle parts cover everything from the oil in the engine to the wheels the bike rolls on, and where you start depends on whether you are repairing, maintaining or upgrading. Riders shop here for replacements for worn or damaged parts, for upgrades to the engine, brakes and suspension, and for the accessories that make a bike more comfortable or distinctive.
The section splits by system. Power and fuel are covered by Engines & Engine Parts, Air Intake & Fuel Delivery, Exhaust & Emission Systems, Engine Cooling and Transmission & Drivetrain. Stopping and handling are in Brakes & Brake Parts, Suspension & Handling, Wheels, Tires & Parts and Body & Frame. Electrical needs go to Electrical & Ignition Components, Lighting & Lamps, Instruments & Gauges, Audio, Communication & Navigation and Electric Motorcycle & Scooter Parts.
Controls and carrying gear are in Handlebars, Grips & Controls, Foot Controls, Pedals & Pegs, Mirrors, Luggage, Racks & Storage and Guards & Protection. For the shop, there are Hardware & Fasteners, Tools & Supplies, Lifts & Stands, Accessories and Other Motorcycle. Riding gear is separate, in Apparel | Protective Gear and Helmets.
Brands in this section include Athena, Bolt, Braking, Accel and Barnett. Most parts depend on year, make and model, so pick your bike in the Ride Finder at the top of the page. The guide Why your part didn't fit explains how to avoid mismatches.
FAQs on motorcycle parts
How do I find parts that fit my motorcycle?
Choose your year, make and model in the Ride Finder, which narrows the list to parts made for your bike. Then read the listing for notes on engine size, trim or model variants. If you are unsure, check your owner's manual or service manual for the part number or specification.
Which motorcycle parts wear out first?
Tires, brake pads, the chain and sprockets, air and oil filters, spark plugs, cables and the battery are the usual wear items, along with fluids. How fast they wear depends on how and where you ride, so follow the service schedule in your owner's manual.
Are aftermarket parts as good as OEM parts?
It depends on the part and the maker. Many aftermarket parts match or improve on the original, and quality varies between makers. For safety parts such as brakes, tires and wheels, choose from established makers and match the specification for your bike.
Do parts for one model year fit the next?
Not always. Makers change parts between model years, and the same model can differ by trim or market. Check the year range on the listing against your bike, and use the Ride Finder so the list matches your exact year, make and model.
Do I need special tools for motorcycle maintenance?
Basic work needs a decent set of sockets and wrenches in the sizes your bike uses, which can be metric or inch. A torque wrench helps on critical fasteners, and a stand makes many jobs easier. Your service manual lists what the job needs.
