How to Wash a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
When washing a motorcycle, pay attention to water ingress in the high-voltage cap, high-voltage coil (ignition coil), electronic igniter, stator, and emergency kill switch. Specific details are as follows: High-voltage cap water ingress: Check if the waterproof sleeve on the high-voltage cap is not installed or lacks elasticity. Replace the waterproof sleeve or wrap it tightly with waterproof tape. High-voltage coil (ignition coil) water ingress: Since the high-voltage wire is screwed onto the coil body and can easily loosen, wrap it tightly with tape. Electronic igniter water ingress: The igniter's socket is prone to corrosion. After cleaning, apply grease or Vaseline to prevent corrosion, then wrap it with tape. Stator water ingress: It is particularly prone to water and dirt ingress. Be cautious when washing the motorcycle. Cover it with a small cloth if possible. During maintenance, blow out dust from the stator (as water mixed with dirt turns into mud), which can make starting difficult. Emergency kill switch: Since water is conductive, the kill wire can easily connect with other circuits, causing difficulty in starting or failure to start.
