I recently purchased a few parts for my Yamaha Tenere 700 and KTM 1190 off AliExpress. Let's take a look and see if these cheap parts are worth buying.

everything i have bought has been spot on for my 500 exc, all fit perfect and have all taken a hell of a beating

[@camerontrudeau4974]

This is exactly the right use for Ali express parts. Non critical accessories. I wouldn’t buy stuff like suspension parts, but for things like my adjustable wind screen, headlight cover, misc brackets, definitely the way to go. Seeing some places wanting $100 for the headlight cover for example is nuts. I also use it for testing the waters with a cheap part before buying expensive. Bought $20 lowering links for my tenere . Proved it did what I needed, then bought $120 links later on

[@AdventureTomek]

Yes, little knickknacks are worth a shot. And I’m like you, would not buy crucial parts that maybe a safety concern.

[@racer5440]

I use aluminum foot pegs (16€ instead of 100), brake disks (22€ instead of 250), handlebar and other stuff like that and I didn’t have problems

[@garyhooper1820]

I've gotten parts and accessories for my CL-X700 . Here . It's Chinese so OEM parts can be less$ and delivered to my mail box . Faster than a dealer .

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Tidbits from Ali Express are definitely hit or miss. I'm glad most of them worked for you.

[@perrybarwick1621]

A week from China, here in Australia it takes 3 months.

[@Crust2013]

I wore out the front and rear galfer brake rotors on my SXF450 Bought a set from china 60nzd! Thought bugger it lets tryem... Going on 3 years now have held up just as good. Shop china alot these days having a good run on many parts tbf.

[@AdventureTomek]

Nice! They are improving the quality of many items in recent years. Thanks for commenting!

[@Crust2013]

@@AdventureTomek I think so too,I also own a 1090R,and run some hardware from china town on that bike too.

[@MickH60]

Yep, just bought a rear rotor for a z900RS, just over $50 dollars Aus, the exact same thing here for over $200....Actually looks like the same part and made from the same grade of stainless....

[@northof49adv]

Agree with you on that one , pretty good money savings but you have to be willing to "adapt and modify" the parts sometimes.

[@AdventureTomek]

Hit or miss, the clamp for the 1190 mirror was definitely a score.

[@xenofonr.7238]

brother i think on the windscreen oem part there is clear O rings that the aftermarket doesnt have so you have just to take those rings from the one to the other propably . (propably so it doesnt scrath the bike aswell from the vibrations)

[@AdventureTomek]

The AliExpress is just not molded correctly. Keeping my eye out ok Craig’s and Marketplace, might run into a used one.

[@nickg2431]

Many people (incl me) have bought extras fromchina and been happy.The things i would avoid based on what i have heard from others- internal engine parts,starter clutch for ttr 250 oem 250e china 40e but the china part failed after 3 months Parts that incur considerable stress,wheel rims ,hubs and the like.Off road bikes get a real hammering ,false economy if one part breaks maybe you gain nothing in the end. Its very difficult to send parts back to china and get a refund

[@AdventureTomek]

Completely agree with you. Thanks for watching

[@larry68hd11]

Thanks for sharing 👋

[@zain786ification]

I bought stator and rectifier for 60 $ , for 2008 vfr ,works well, Ali express.

[@AdventureTomek]

Nice!

[@sakork95z]

For me it's defnitely saving i buy only valuable products after research like: - quad lock +dampener base from ali with original QL sticker. Total price 20$, instead of 75$. Same performance proven on youtube. - windshield - puig copy - 22usd instead of 161usd. Yep they want 160 usd for piece of plastic. Pricing is insane and detached from reality.

[@AdventureTomek]

I’ll have to give ten QL off the Ali a try. Thanks for commenting!

[@sakork95z]

@@AdventureTomek tylko tak jak mówie kup sobie oryginalny przylepiec. Raz, że łatwiej się zakłada, 2 ma taśmę 3M.

[@ralfabel8657]

Some pices are good on my T7, but some are crap. I got the clear headlight protector, witch was good.👍 But the luggage rack was crap 😢

[@AdventureTomek]

Hard to tell sometimes unless you have in front of you. Not all, but some products have customer reviews.

[@beatdrive741]

The real test is longevity with cheaper quality parts .. that and safety considerations of course

[@MickH60]

I've had zero problems with quality, especially with the billet aluminium stuff, it's usually anodized 6061 T6 aluminium and made to very good standards. As long as you know what you're buying, there's tons of bargains to be had. Been buying from there for over 10 years, almost since they opened....

[@beatdrive741]

@@MickH60 it’s hit and miss from my experience. The worst buy for me was a pair of motorbike gloves that fell apart after a very light few uses. You get what you pay for though, they were very cheap. Conversely I got a budget bluetooth helmet speaker/microphone gizmo that works pretty damn well for the price, it’s no cardio but it was about £20 and does the job for now.

[@theadventurousrider]

Ive seen stuff off their website but haven't gotten anything but like anything non-oem website... Its a chance. I got something off Amazon that was supposed to work on my truck and was wrong. Sorry thr windscreen didn't fit right

[@AdventureTomek]

Ive been pleasantly surprised with most of the items I have ordered.

[@PSPTommyG]

Thanks for the video~~ I will have to give them a try~

[@advswede]

Sometimes ali Express have good stuff, and somtimes "less good", but pretty cheap.
