Is it okay to leave a motorcycle exposed to the sun?
1 Answers
Exposing a motorcycle to direct sunlight can cause harm. Here are some relevant maintenance tips for motorcycles: 1. Keep flammable and explosive items away: Avoid placing flammable or explosive items in areas where the motorcycle is directly exposed to sunlight. Otherwise, under direct sunlight, these items can easily catch fire or explode, leading to the motorcycle catching fire, with unimaginable consequences. 2. Apply sunscreen to the paint: Prolonged exposure to the sun can affect the quality of the motorcycle's paint. High temperatures and UV rays can easily damage the surface paint. Whenever possible, park your motorcycle in a shaded area. After each ride, check for residues like insect glue or dust on the paint surface. Regular washing and waxing are essential. Additionally, applying a glaze is an excellent method for sun protection, akin to applying sunscreen to your motorcycle's paint. This prevents direct exposure of the paint to the elements and provides UV protection.
