1. 30-day returns (parts, gear & unused accessories)
You may return unused parts, gear and accessories within 30 days of delivery for a full refund, provided they are in their original packaging and in resalable condition. Original delivery charges are non-refundable; return shipping is the buyer's responsibility unless the item was faulty or incorrectly supplied.
2. Motorcycles — cooling-off & cancellation
For motorcycles purchased online and not collected in person, you have a 7-day cooling-off right under section 44 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2002 (ECTA), from the date of delivery, provided the bike is unridden, undamaged and in resalable condition. We may charge a reasonable inspection / restocking fee for a returned motorcycle.
3. Faulty, defective or unsafe goods (CPA s.56)
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2008, if any item is defective, unsafe or not fit for its ordinary intended purpose within 6 months of delivery, you may choose between a repair, replacement or full refund. Email info@rfnafrica.co.za with your order number and a description of the fault, and we'll arrange collection.

- Race-induced damage, crash damage, water ingress beyond rated IP class.
- Damage from modifications or non-OEM parts.
- Damage caused by neglected charging or storage.
