To buy OEM or Aftermarket
Kawasaki Motorcycle Parts?

Good to know when buying OEM
Kawasaki Motorcycle Parts:

When you buy OEM Kawasaki Motorcycle Parts you are buying the exact same original part the manufacturer used to build your motorcycle, that means:

• Same performance as the part installed in your motorcycle right now. The part won't be better nor worse than the original part you want to replace.

• Normally OEM parts a more (in some cases MUCH more) expensive than aftermarket parts.

• Motorcycle and car agencies clerks will normally tell
you OEM Parts are higher quality and the best option
for replacements. Is this true? Well sometimes it is, sometimes it's not.

• Normally after a certain period of time, the manufacturer will allow the company that originally designed/produced the part to sell it in their own box at a considerably lower cost, making it: an Aftermarket OEM part! :-)

• BE CAREFUL if your bike is still in its guarantee period make sure you use only OEM parts and have them installed by authorized mechanics. If you don't do so, you will probably void the guarantee.

Things to know when buying
Kawasaki Motorcycle parts:

• MAKE SURE YOUR GUARANTEE PERIOD IS OVER. In many cases, you can VOID your guarantee if you have an aftermarket part installed by an unauthorized mechanic in your machine. I know I said it before, but it's worth repeating; I happened to me! :-(

• Equivalent aftermarket Kawasaki motorcycle parts are normally cheaper than OEM parts. Sometimes up to
70% cheaper!

• Aftermarket parts can have lower,the same or higher quality than the original.

• When buying aftermarket parts make sure you are getting AT LEAST the same quality as the OEM part.
If possible try to get some reviews about brands and performance. You can do it in the Internet, with your favorite mechanic or with fellow riders.

• If you are looking for high performance parts and devices, you know the kind: carbon fiber, titanium, aerospace aluminum parts and gizmos, well you will probably find them as aftermarket Kawasaki motorcycle parts.
