Does Rain Affect Motorcycles?
1 Answers
Rain can indeed affect motorcycles. Rainwater may cause disc brake failure, allow water to enter the fuel tank leading to carburetor water contamination (affecting startup and engine performance), and dampen spark plugs making ignition difficult. Daily motorcycle maintenance methods include: 1. During the break-in period, maintain idle speed at 100 rpm; 2. Match gears with appropriate speeds; 3. When braking is required, release the throttle, press the rear brake with your right foot while gently applying the front brake with your right hand; 4. Regularly inspect spark plugs; 5. For new spark plug installation, hand-tighten until snug then use a spark plug wrench to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn; 6. Regularly lubricate the chain.
