Motocross wear parts - everything you need for the start of the season
Motocross bikes are subjected to a lot of stress on the race track. Your bike must therefore always be kept in good condition to ensure rider safety. Regular maintenance is the secret to long-lasting components. So you should check all the wear parts before every ride and at regular intervals.
Even if the maintenance between a 2-stroke and a 4-stroke motocross bike differs, some of the essential wear parts are similar. The SCOOTER-ATTACK team has taken care of the topic and made this guide on the essential wear parts for motocross bikes.
Maintaining a motocross bike
The maintenance and care of a motocross motorcycle consists primarily of checking and cleaning certain parts before each use, while other parts are checked after certain maintenance intervals. The most common jobs are as follows:
- Clean motorcycle with a pressure washer
- Lubricate and grease mechanical components and chain
- Wash air filter, breather and dust caps
- Check that all components are properly tightened
- Check the condition of the chain drive (sprockets and chain)
- Check tire pressure and spoke tension
- Check oil and fluid levels
- Check brake pads for wear
- Clean and lubricate chain
- Make vehicle diagnosis with diagnostic device
Regular maintenance keeps a motocross motorcycle in good condition for longer and protect against avoidable accidents. However, they do not prevent unexpected breakdowns and breakages.
As a preventive measure and to ensure that you can repair your motorcycle at any time, you should always have certain spare parts on hand.
Several members of the SCOOTER-ATTACK team are motocross riders. Here is what they feel is a not necessarily complete list of parts you should always have on you so you don’t miss an outing or have to skip a race. All parts are of course available in the Motocross Section of SCOOTER-ATTACK.

The basics of motocross maintenance
Chain, sprocket, chain guide, chain slider, brake pads, tires, oil pan, clutch disc – these are all wear parts that may need to be replaced right on the spot.
Many riders need these parts right before a trip or race, which means they are just as important as a can of gasoline. So stay aware, always have those components stocked and on hand!
