Does Riding a Motorcycle in the Rain Affect the Engine?

[LaneMarie]

Yes, it does. Here are some precautions for riding a motorcycle in the rain: Properly wear a helmet: You still need to wear a helmet when riding in the rain. Be careful not to cover the helmet with a raincoat, as it may obstruct your vision and hinder head movement, causing inconvenience while driving. Drivers who wear glasses should preferably choose a helmet with a windshield to prevent rainwater from wetting their eyes and blurring their vision. If there is water accumulation on the helmet's windshield, you can remove it by wiping it with your hand. Navigating through waterlogged roads: Some roads may have large areas of standing water due to poor drainage or low-lying terrain. When encountering such road conditions, first observe the water depth. The water depth should be lower than the height of the spark plug and exhaust pipe to ensure the vehicle does not stall while passing through. If the engine stalls and cannot be restarted, push the motorcycle to a safe area and dry the spark plug and high-voltage cap.
