Motorcycle Buyer's Guide – Rival Motorsports

Buying a motorcycle from Rival Motorsports in Thornville, Ohio? Follow this checklist before you commit.

  1. 1

    Verify the title and VIN

    Check the VIN on the frame, engine, and title to confirm they match. Run the VIN through a motorcycle history report. Rival Motorsports should be able to provide documentation for any bike in their inventory.

  2. 2

    Check the fork seals and bearings

    Look for oil weeping down the fork tubes — a sign the seals need replacement. Grab the front wheel and push/pull firmly to check for play in the steering head bearings.

  3. 3

    Inspect the chain and sprockets

    A worn chain will have excess slack and the sprocket teeth will look hooked or pointed instead of rounded. Chain and sprocket replacement runs $200–$500. Factor that into your offer if it's needed.

  4. 4

    Check tire age and tread depth

    Look for the DOT date code on the sidewall — tires over five years old should be replaced regardless of tread. Tires are a safety item, not a cosmetic one.

  5. 5

    Take a test ride

    Confirm the clutch engages smoothly, the brakes feel firm, and the bike tracks straight at speed. Listen for valve noise, exhaust leaks, or electrical issues. A short test ride catches problems a visual inspection misses.

How to Finance a Motorcycle at Rival Motorsports

ONLY PLACE IN OHIO TO TAKE YOUR CAN-AM TO!! Dealership and Service Team 10 stars! Been going to ASK POWERSPORTS for three years. They are trash(ASK POWERSPORTS) compared to the service and turnaround from RIVAL!! They really showed me what was missing in the Can-Am world support! I added a lot of upgrades to our ride (Defender Max) and the team was reliable, quick, honest and with high quality standards for the experience. Thank you all for the great opportunity to participate in the environment you all call work. You make it look easy!

Rival Motorsports is an outstanding shop with great people and top-notch customer service. This is my go-to place for Can-Am Defender parts, and they’ve always been knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. If you’re looking for a reliable motorsports shop you can trust, Rival Motorsports is the place to go. Highly recommend.

SeaDoo owners searching for a shop that employees friendly and attentive folks, look no further. I live in central Ohio and have tried 2 other dealers…1 of those is where I purchased 1 of my skis. I gave each at least 3 experiences. Not good. Adam and the team at Rival are great to work with…often going the extra mile to assist with not typical challenges….and very responsive. I’m posting this in hopes that my less than great experiences will save you some time. Thank you team Rival.

Bob and the team at Rival are great! Bob made working a deal remotely, possible and we greatly appreciate that. Even with Bob running a busy store, it was simple to get information needed to put this all together. We are so excited to get out and start enjoying the new buggy!
