Is it okay for a motorcycle to be exposed to the sun?
1 Answers
Hazards and impacts of leaving a motorcycle exposed to the sun: 1. Paint damage: The entire paint surface will lose its luster, turning from dark to light; prolonged exposure can accelerate paint aging, and in more severe cases, it can cause the paint to crack or peel. 2. Rubber aging: Plastic and rubber components will age more rapidly, with some rubber and plastic parts 'retiring' prematurely or deteriorating. 3. Overheated seat: The seat becomes too hot to sit on comfortably, which can also lead to deformation and accelerated aging of the motorcycle seat's leather. Over time, cracks may appear. 4. Tire blowout: Tires, being rubber products, are most vulnerable to sunlight and liquid corrosion. Exposure to the sun causes temperatures to rise, leading to gradual aging of the tires over time, which can also affect their lifespan.
