Motorcycle Electrical Components

Your motorcycle electrical system consists of various components all working together to make your vehicle operate at its best. Some of them are essential to help start your engine and keep it running while others just help improve the performance of your electrical devices. But no matter which parts you need, in our online store you’ll find them all. Our extensive selection of motorcycle electrical parts includes everything from batteries, alternators, and starters to fuse blocks, ignition switches, light relays, and much more. All electrical parts showcased on our virtual shelves are made by the most trusted manufacturers, so be sure these products offer excellent performance and reliability.

The battery is the heart of your motorcycle electrical system. It stores 12-volt electrical energy which is used to start the engine as well as supply extra power to your electrical parts and accessories when the engine is not running. To ensure reliable operation of your motorcycle, it’s important to make sure your battery gets a good charge. If you have a wet cell battery (also known as a flooded lead-acid battery), you shouldn’t forget to regularly top it up with distilled water to prevent it from drying out. But no matter how well your battery is maintained, it is expected to last only between two and five years depending on its type and quality.

Whether you’re in need of a new replacement battery or want to upgrade your existing battery to a more powerful one, we have you covered. From conventional wet lead acid to AGM (absorbed glass mat) to lithium-ion batteries, here you’re sure to find the battery that suits your needs and budget. Along with batteries, we also offer an abundant variety of alternators and generators to ensure proper performance of your battery. Both alternators and generators perform the same function. They recharge the battery when the engine is running to ensure you’ll have enough power next time when you start your bike.

Generators are usually found on older motorcycles which come with a kick starter and aren’t equipped with many electrical accessories. Most modern motorcycles come with alternators which are more advanced in terms of technology. The main difference between these two components is that a generator creates DC power, while an alternator is designed to deliver AC power. Alternators come in two main types: one-piece and three-piece ones. One-piece alternators usually have all components needed to produce and regulate current in one housing. They’re very powerful and generate much heat, which is why they’re mounted externally. Three-piece alternators consist of the rotor, stator, and an external rectifier/regulator which keeps the power within the proper voltage range. The regulator also changes AC current to DC, so it can be stored in the battery. All these components work in conjunction, yet are stand-alone units. We carry everything from one-piece alternators to stators, rotors, and rectifiers.

And, of course, when you start thinking of a motorcycle electrical system, the engine starter is probably the first thing that comes to your mind. For many years, kick starters have been standard on all bikes. But, now they’re the thing of the past. Today, virtually all motorcycles come with electric starter motors that allow you to crank the engine with the press of a button. However, electric starter motors are highly subjected to wear and tear through the years of use, which can eventually cause starting problems. On our virtual shelves, you’ll find a wide range of starter motors designed to be the perfect replacement for your weak or faulty factory unit. Made from the finest materials and the latest technology, they deliver exceptional value and dependability. And if you want to prevent your starter motor as well as other electrical components from being damaged, choose from our abundant collection of fuse blocks.
