Spare Parts Compatibility

When the time comes to change certain wearing parts, the question often arises: original part or adaptable part. It is always difficult to find the right spare parts. They are not universal and you could seriously damage your two-wheeler by deciding to install accessories that are not suitable.

Often less expensive than the original one, the adaptable part must meet manufacturing criteria.

Adaptable or generic parts are copies more or less similar to the original parts and which are fitted instead of these original equipment parts (OEM). Depending on the manufacturer, parts will vary in quality from poor to excellent.

Parts that are not compatible with your motorcycle are likely to damage it in one way or another. By finding the right parts, you will have the possibility of repairing or improving your two-wheeler at a lower cost.

This offers a big advantage, that of dispensing with the services of a mechanic or a dealer, especially when you have some mechanical knowledge.

One of the first criteria to consider when choosing spare parts compatible with your motorcycle is to opt for spare parts from origin. Indeed, this type of spare parts is rarely incompatible with a specific motorcycle model. You can also opt for adaptable parts. But in this case, you must ensure the compatibility of the part with your motorcycle before purchasing.

The last step, which isn't the easiest but is the safest: Disassemble your old part (if possible). Indeed, by dismantling your damaged part, you can easily take the dimensions and check the resemblance to a new part from our site.

The product reference

When talking about references, it is important to clearly distinguish between the following references:

The reference 50 Factory : It is not very important for you, except if you replace a part which you had already taken on our site.

The manufacturer's reference: It is universal for this part and can never be replaced except par the manufacturer himself.

More powerful, the original parts?

This concern is unfounded: the adaptable parts offer performance equivalent to what the manufacturers guarantee. Many turn out to be quite simply identical.

In some cases, parts even improve the performance of your machine. The best example in this area is undoubtedly the exhaust line, which will most often optimize the power and torque curves.

Is the origin more reliable than the adaptable?

The real plus for a original part is that it will benefit from the manufacturer's warranty, a guarantee of peace of mind. This is why you will find on our site a large number of manufacturers whose standard parts can be found on your motorcycle. Enough to be reassured about their performance!

The play aftermarket (or from equivalent quality) is still a good choice for a machine over five years old. Without being original (first assembly), the article is of a quality equivalent to the original by offering a more advantageous price. Accessories and other adaptable spare parts add a touch of originality to the look of your motorcycle. They often offer a variant par compared to the manufacturer's parts which make it possible to visually illustrate the machines as they leave the factory.

The wing mirror thus claim a much more daring design than the standard mirrors; same observation for blinkers or exhaust silencer generally sportier lines than the standard equipment.

Classification of the different spare parts

Find below the 5 categories of spare parts, ranging from type parts First line to those of type fifth line :

First line

Identical part to original equipment, sold under the manufacturer's brand

Recommended for all parts, and especially those relating to safety (such as the braking par example)

Second line (original)

Identical part to original equipment, sold under the brand of the subcontractor

Recommended for all parts, and especially those relating to safety (such as the braking par example)

Third line (of equivalent quality)

Part sold under the brand name of a well-known subcontractor, but which did not carry out the first fit

Recommended for all rooms (brake pads, air filters et oil filters...)

Fourth line (adaptable)

Part sold under the brand of a little-known subcontractor, not having carried out original assembly

Reserved for standard parts headlight, blinkers, wing mirror... But watch out for the price. Preferably avoid parts of braking and parts engine

Fifth line (adaptable)

Part of unknown origin, anonymous subcontractor, obviously not having carried out the first assembly. Danger: its appearance and packaging copy those of the original part

Reserved for parts of fairing or tuning And parts not found otherwise (collection, vintage...) Imperatively avoid spare parts braking and parts engine

Conclusion

The manufacturing capacities of factories around the world are gigantic and many industrialists are incapable of doing anything other than copying what others have invented and developed. Hence the current situation with various spare parts from multiple sources and of random quality.
