How to find the exact part for your bike
Three things determine whether a part actually fits: your model, your model year, and sometimes your exact regional variant. Here's how to pin all three down before you order anything.
Find your VIN / chassis number
Every motorcycle has a 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), also called a chassis number, stamped into the frame. On most KTM and Bajaj motorcycles it's stamped on the steering head area of the frame, near where the front fork passes through — you may need to turn the handlebars fully to see it clearly. It's also printed on your registration certificate (RC) and insurance papers, which is often the easiest place to check.
Decode the model year from your VIN
VINs follow an international standard (ISO 3779) where the 10th character encodes the model year — this is true across virtually every manufacturer worldwide, not just motorcycles. Enter your VIN in the catalog's search box and it reads that character automatically, so you don't need to memorize the year-code table yourself. This matters because the same-named model often changes internally between years — a part that fits a 2020 bike may not fit a 2023 one that looks identical from the outside.
Confirm your exact variant
Many models exist in multiple regional or regulatory variants that share a name — for example "UG", "UG2", or "OBD2B" suffixes usually mark emissions or regulatory revisions with real hardware differences. If your model year matches more than one variant in the catalog, check your registration papers or ask your dealer which specification your bike was sold as.
Reading an exploded parts diagram
Once you've selected your model and year, choose Frame or Engine and pick the assembly you need (for example "Crankcase" or "Front Wheel"). The diagram shows every part in that assembly exploded apart with a small number next to each one. That number is a position reference, not the part number itself — match it against the parts list beside the diagram to get the actual part number and description, then quantity needed.
Search by part number instead
If you already have a part number from an old invoice or the part itself, the catalog's part-number search checks it against every model at once — useful for confirming whether a part is shared across multiple models, or for cross-referencing a part you already know.
Before you order
Catalog diagrams are a reference for identification, not a live stock or pricing feed. Always double-check the part number against your bike's actual model/year/variant, and confirm current price and availability with your parts supplier before ordering.
