How To Buy Motorcycle Parts For Beginners?

 

Like any vehicle, maintaining the different parts of your motorcycle is key to ensuring that it lasts for more than a decade. New motorcyclists have a general idea about upkeep and maintenance because they learned about them from riding and driving cars. However, maintaining cars and motorcycles is not the same. Each vehicle has its own rules about its parts, like tires and engines, and different timelines on when to replace them.

If you are new to the wild world of motorcycles, or you are looking for a motorcycle to purchase, then keep on reading. Knowing when to replace certain parts when they wear down will keep your motorcycle road-ready for years to come!

Motorcycle parts and when to replace them

Here's a list of the most common parts on a motorcycle that must be replaced often and when they should be replaced.

 

●       The chain and chainrings must be replaced after 3000 miles or whenever the meter on the chain checker displays 0.75%

●       Breaking cables must be replaced every year

●       Exhaust pipes must be replaced every two to four years depending on wear and tear

●       Any belt or chain that is developing nicks or threads must become a high priority and replace immediately

You must not forget about the parts that help in Fuel Management – More Horsepower.

Where to buy motorcycle parts from

Buying motorcycle parts on your own isn’t hard, but it is daunting for both new and veteran motorcycles since they don't do it often. You could just let your mechanic order the parts for you, which many riders do. But learning what to order can allow you to customize your bike like never before. So here are the best places to buy motorcycle parts:

 

●       Motorcycle surplus stores

●       Motosport shops

●       Specialty motorcycle shops

●       Motorcycle conventions and gatherings

●       Online retailers(with good customers service and good reviews)

●       Motorcycle mechanic shops

All of these places are great for finding amazing parts with special details and higher-quality builds.

If you're out on the road and you see a motorcycle detail or part that just captures our eye and it is part of someone else's motorcycle build, wait until you both are in a safe spot and ask the person where they got their part. Many motorcycles enjoy talking about different specialty parts they either ordered or found from a specialty shop.

If you don't have any special parts on your motorcycle to dazzle the other person with, tell them about your men's leather biker pants or the brand new pack of biker vest patches you just bought. Just be sure to make conversation and exchange info on where you got your items. As you continue to talk to different motorcyclists, you will get a general sense of where they get their specialty parts.

Now that you understand when to replace important parts of your motorcycle before the parts break down completely and damage your motorcycles, it is time to remind you about replacing your worn-out gear. Purchasing both new motorcycle parts and new motorcycle gear can be expensive and we understand why many of our readers would rather buy the parts over the gear.

But well-made high-quality motorcycle gear is essential to motorcycle road safety. Unlike car and truck drivers, the clothing we wear is the only thing keeping us from becoming red stains on the grey concrete. So your leather motorcycle jacketshould have strong reinforcements built into it, and the mens leather motorcycle pants that you wear on every ride have to be made from material that can resist shredding and tearing if you skid on the cement.

But purchasing new gear can be expensive and no one likes to spend money they did not count on. So that is why Wickedstock.com has so many sales alongside their everyday discounted prices. It should take your entire paycheck to own well-made gear. If you are interested in purchasing new gear, head on over to their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages to see the entire selection of gear that Wicked Stock has to offer! Don’t delay or you will be missing out!

Items Every Motorcycle Rider Needs In Their Emergency Kit

 

Who doesn’t enjoy a spontaneous weekend road trip where all you have between yourself, and the night sky is a sleeping bag and a sturdy tent? Most motorcycle riders plan a weekend trip every couple of months because it is so easy to merge onto the freeway and drive away from their weekday 9-5. All you must do to get away for a few days is slip on your leather motorcycle jacket,buy yourself a fresh packet of biker vest patches,and hit the road.

Well, it’s almost that easy. There are still a few essential items you need to acquire before you go out. These items are a part of your travel emergency kit, and they are an absolute necessity. You might not need them, but it is better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.

Emergency kit Items

Add more items if you wish, but these emergency kit items are essential and should not be left out. You can find these items in most medical supply stores. If you buy an emergency kit, make sure all these items are included. These are also great items to give another person if you have extras. Wrap an item or two below in a brand-new pair of leather motorcycle pants and give them both as a gift!

 

●       Soap - rest stops cannot be trusted

●       A bottle of water - can flush out wounds with gravel and dirt as well as hydrate you

●       Antibacterial ointment - don’t let an infection ruin your trip!

●       Bandages and dressings - for cuts big and small

●       A tourniquet - if you are bleeding profusely, a tourniquet will prevent you from losing too much blood.

●       A wound dressing that stops bleeding - some dressings have coagulant chemicals that stop bleeding faster than your normal bodily system

●       Flashlight and tweezers - a splinter between your fingers won’t kill you, but you will welcome death after every sharp movement you experience

●       Sunscreen - the sun is no one’s friend!

●       A compact bag that keeps water and dirt out

●       A large freezer-grade Ziploc bag

Some of these items are small enough so that they fit in the pocket of your motorcycle rain suit. It is important to have all these items with you, especially when you are camping instead of renting motels and hotels. If you can think of any other important items, please let us know and we will happily expand our list!

After you have all these items packed away in your emergency medical kit, then you can finally hit the road! Before you ride, do not forget that Reckless Motorcycle Riding Is Irresponsible either you have prepared your emergency kit or not.

Oh, wait! Sorry, I forget to mention one little thing. Is all your motorcycle gear prepared and ready to go? Has any of your gear worn out or has patches missing? If you have a few pieces of gear that are past the point of no return, then it is time to go shopping for brand new motorcycle gear!

Owning high-quality motorcycle gear is essential. You shouldn’t even be out on the road unless you are dressed in gear from head to toe. I understand that buying gear is not a fun activity for cash-strapped motorcycle riders but knowing where to shop can help you discover great deals on high-quality gear.

One of the best places to shop for motorcycle gear is Wickestock.com. This online motorcycle gear store has everything you need to ride your motorcycle safely, and you will look good doing it too. Check out their, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages to see all their gear and learn about any upcoming sales.

Trendy or Trashy? Let's Find Out!

 

Just because something is trendy does not mean that it is a good idea or that its style or fashion will stand the test of time. Some trends should pass by with few people entertaining them and never be embraced again. And some trends are just good ideas that very few people once knew, but now the idea is gaining popularity and becoming mainstream. But how do we spot the bad trends that need to go from the good trends that we should adopt into our daily lives? This question is a major problem in any industry, so it is best to answer it and spare our customers the stress of sorting it out for themselves.

The best way to know if a new trend or a brand new piece of advice is valuable is by focusing on its application and its versatility. Jeans were invented in 1873, and they are still relevant because they are acceptable in the fashion world and the world of work. They are durable, easy to wash and last for a long time. This is how you know the blue jean was a great idea. Even now, motorcyclists and bicyclists all enjoy wearing jeans made for motorcycles, and they will also wear their motorcycle riding jackets and motorcycle riding gloves. But do you know what was not a great idea? The beehive hairstyle. While it has a unique and distinct look, it was far too hard to take care of and had to be worn for days to justify the length of time it took to create the hairstyle. Although anyone who sees the beehive hairstyle will automatically know it is from the 1950s and 60s, it would be a wild sight to see it pop up in daily life in 2020.

How do we apply this to the world of motorcycling?

First, we have to realize that the motorcycling world is not immune to terrible trends. One of these trends that once was quite successful but is now dying out is the sportbike. When they first came out on the scene, it seems like the sportbike was a sporting alternative to a motorcycle. But it has been almost two decades, and not much has changed in the basic structure or technology that went into the bike.

One trend which is going away quickly, and it should as it attracted a lot of scammers, is shopping for cheap motorcycles on Craigslist. The only motorcycles that are now left on Craigslist are legitimate ones that cost at least a few thousand dollars. Oh well, any motorcycle which is $500 or less most definitely is not safe to drive anyway.

If you are about to buy a motorcycle for less than $1000? Here’s what you should know.

What is a good trend that has stayed around for decades?

Why, adding decals to your motorcycle’s body, of course! Just like adding biker vest patches on a biker vest, adding decals to your motorcycle is so popular that if you see a motorcycle without decals, it means that it was recently purchased. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have at least one sticker or decal on their motorcycle, and if you check your friend’s bikes, I’m sure you would say the same thing.

So if you want clothing and gear that will last and always looks great no matter what decade you’re in, head over to Wickedstock.com. We have everything a motorcyclist could need, including gear, clothing, parts, maps, backpacks, and vital Information in our blog section. Feel free to contact us using our contact form if you have any questions and concerns or suggest an article idea. No matter what kind of question you have, we’ll be sure to answer it!

Who Said You Could Listen To That?

 

It’s no secret that one of the less pleasurable aspects of riding a motorcycle is listening to the traffic. Whether you are on the highway for a cross country trip or stuck in afternoon gridlock it can get LOUD. Safety is no joke and we should all do everything we can to be safe out there but does that include leaving the music off?

For years people have said that you absolutely cannot ride with your headphones. The key reason is not hard to guess. When we ride, we are vulnerable and we need our senses available to keep up alive. Some have tried to compromise by setting up some truly badass stereo systems on their motorcycles to match their biker vest patches and leather motorcycle pants.

For them, this works brilliantly. For myself, if I am going to show off it is going to be a different style so I was elated over the past couple of years as I saw technology has made it so we can listen to music safely. What’s more, there are no proven benefits to listening to music (surprise surprise).

If you wonder, Can I Listen to Music on a Motorcycle? Not only are we more alert on those long drives because music stimulates our senses but a lot of music can have a soothing effect on the brain to reduce the likelihood of road rage.

How Do We Listen

That does not mean you should go out and buy that expensive set of noise-canceling earbuds. We still need to know what is happening so here are some smart choices.

1. They now make earbuds specifically for motorcyclists that are specially designed to be less complicated and therefore less distracting when on the road. Furthermore, they are designed not to block out all the surrounding noise so you can still hear that sedan that you were cutting off when they honk. Just remember to keep it wireless, otherwise, you risk having the cord floating around in your way.

2. One of my long time favorites, when I am on a long ride, is helmet speakers. These beauties have a high-quality sound that can rival your living rooms, making for a great experience and should be easier to work than earbuds or headphones which can get caught in the helmet.

Safety

Whether you are using earbuds, helmet speakers, or full-on saddlebag stereo systems you are going to have to remember that can be trickier than listening in a car and there are things to remember.

1. Check the local laws. Just because I can doesn’t mean your state doesn’t prohibit headphones and earbuds for drivers in general. It’s easy to find just go to AAA.

2. Be extremely careful when considering anything that claims to be noise canceling. This is no joke and knows what you are signing up for by wearing them.

3. If you are using helmet speakers or wired headphones mind any wires and do a few head twists before ever getting on the motorcycle. The wires can get caught on your jaw, your leather moto jacket, or in my experience even your leather motorcycle gloves if you go to adjust something.

The Good and the Bad

Bottom line is that there are pros and cons. A lot of people (myself being a prime example) find that they are a lot more alert when listening to music and can improve your mood. But no matter how you slice it, music and the equipment that goes with it can be distractions so pay attention and ask yourself is now really the right time.

Outside of that go out there and have some fun, but first follow and like wickedstock on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Motorcycling the Right Way – Lessons You Need to Know

Created by Ken Condon, "Motorcycling the Right Way" is a book that's supposed to open a motorcyclist's eyes to the varied ways of riding a motorcycle. Each motorcyclist has their own style, a way to maneuver their motorcycle that fits their personality and agenda, depending on the reason they're riding. There is often a plethora of debate on the value of each motorcyclist's abilities and riding style, and that will not go away in the future. However, there is one concrete opinion that every motorcycle shares no matter who they are and how they ride. 

There is definitely a wrong way to ride a motorcycle.

If you ride a motorcycle the wrong way, you look foolish, you will hurt yourself, you will hurt other people on the road, and you will cause untold amounts of damage to your motorcycle, your body, and your wallet.

Gear

One foolish way to ride that most motorcyclists agree on is to not have the proper protective gear. When you're on your motorcycle, speeding down the highway at 70 miles an hour or more, you want to protect your body. If you don't have one now, you should absolutely invest in motorcycle jackets with armor. This type of jacket will protect your torso from excessive damage if you get into an accident.

Responsibility to Another

Another way to be a terrible motorcycle rider is to not take into account the safety of the passenger riding with you. Whether they are behind you directly, or in a motorcycle sidecar, your first priority should be to the other person whose life you have in your hands. Any motorcycle drivers who are reckless assume that because a person is riding with them, they want to do the same crazy stunts or race against someone like the rider does. But when you're with someone, you cannot use your motorcycle to be reckless. You will never forgive yourself if a terrible accident hurts your rider.

If you have a passenger that ride with you frequently, tell them to purchase a leather motorcycle pants. This type of pants keep you warm in the cold and make sitting for long periods of time much easier. Also, if the person you were riding with is good friends with you, when you purchase your motorcycle jackets, you can also add biker vest patches.

It may be a bit cheesy, but matching outfits with your best friend is timeless and shows the strength of the bond that you have with each other. So customizing your jackets with the same patches and styles, it'll show everyone on the freeway around you that you are a team.

The Mind

The last way you must learn about is the way of your mind. Even though you're riding on the back of a steel and chrome machine with leather and rubber, the power of the motorcycle is not actually in its engine. It is in the mind of the driver. Motorcycle riding, like most other intense activities, is all about the mental state of the person driving. This is why new riders hurt themselves more often than older writers. They have not developed the mental state they need to anticipate problems and avoid dangerous situations. 

One way to train the mind is to make sure to be prepared for all situations. This is so you can travel in any weather and be prepared for the next scenario. Make sure to purchase for yourself motorcycle rain gear so the wind and the rain can't stop you from getting to your destination.

If you have finally realized that you need to start taking riding more seriously, then we suggest you purchase the proper gear you need to keep your body and mind safe. Head over to www.wickedstock.com to purchase high-quality gear that will last a long time and can take a beating.
