Is it bad for motorcycles to be parked outdoors in the rain?
1 Answers
Motorcycles are not afraid of getting wet in the rain, but it is advisable to cover them when it rains. A little rain won't harm the motorcycle, but it's better to have a rain cover ready to protect important components. After getting wet, place the motorcycle in a ventilated area to dry, avoiding direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sun and rain can cause plastic and metal parts to age, discolor, and rust. Daily maintenance tips for motorcycles: During the break-in period, keep the idle speed at 100 rpm; match the gear to the speed; when braking in an emergency, release the throttle, press the rear brake with your right foot, and gently apply the front brake with your right hand; regularly check the spark plug; when installing a new spark plug, hand-tighten it until it doesn't move, then use a spark plug socket to tighten it an additional quarter to half turn; regularly lubricate the chain.
