Officers located the bike on Wednesday after intercepting it in Shelfield.
They used the owner's tracking device to pin down its rough location before using "local knowledge" to find it.
Sgt Ben Killeen, neighbourhood policing supervisor for Brownhills, said: "It was a really good seizure. It is now in our possession and will be reunited with its rightful owner."
West Midlands Police said over the last year, it has seized more than 40 bikes, some of which were stolen and being ridden illegally in Walsall.
