Which Parts of a Motorcycle Should Not Be Washed?
1 Answers
When washing a motorcycle, avoid the air filter, carburetor, exhaust pipe, fuel tank, as well as electrical components such as the ignition switch, igniter, high-voltage coil (these parts should not be subjected to prolonged high-pressure water rinsing) and their connecting wires. Here are precautions for washing a motorcycle: Start the vehicle after drying: Let it idle on the side stand for 5-10 minutes to drain water from the exhaust pipe, then ride at medium speed for a few minutes or dry in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight. Always cool down a hot bike before washing: Sudden cold water rinsing on the engine, exhaust pipe, and other components can damage oil seals, leading to engine oil leakage.
