Prepare your bike before selling it

A well prepared bike isn't just easier to sell, it gives a buyer less chance to argue

Preparing your bike for a sale is an important investment in time and – possibly – money. Not only could it mean that you sell your bike more quickly, it might also mean you get more money for it.

Clean your bike-First thing

The very least you should do is to make sure it’s clean and tidy inside and outside. It might be worth considering a professional valet which could save you time and be a sensible investment. After all, if a Rs. 200 valet adds Rs. 5000 to the value of the bike, you’re making money.

Check Electrical & Mechanical components

Likewise, go around the bike and check that all the electrics work – everything from the lights and tyres are in good condition and that all the mechanical bits and pieces are in good working order.

Fix problem

If you come across any minor problems or damage, it’s worthwhile getting them fixed; and, if your bike has an token that is due to run out in the near future, consider getting a fresh one done. This is not just because a clean bike health will make the bike more appealing to potential buyers, but also because any obvious problem provides the buyer with the perfect opportunity to try and beat you down on price.

Finally, don’t forget that preparing your bike involves more than just the bike. Gather together all the paperwork you have for the bike and details of any services or repairs that you have had completed on the bike. Again, it all helps to make the bike more valuable and attractive to a potential buyer, as it will help to confirm the bike’s history and give the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the bike has been looked after.

Ok, let's sell my bike.
