Does Washing a Hot Motorcycle Have Any Impact?

[ColeFitz]

It is acceptable as long as the engine temperature is not too high, but washing the motorcycle when it is cold is the best option to avoid any damage. Washing a hot engine can cause issues due to thermal expansion and contraction, and may also lead to the peeling of engine paint. Motorcycle washing precautions: Avoid immediate washing when overheated: Prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe and avoid washing immediately when the engine is overheated. The cleaning agents used should not be too alkaline or acidic to prevent surface corrosion; use dedicated cleaning agents or dilute them to an appropriate concentration. Avoid using rough or hard towels or materials: The cloth used for wiping should not be rough or hard; instead, use soft cotton or polyester materials to avoid scratches.
