Why Should Motorcycles Not Be Exposed to Direct Sunlight?

[DelBrantley]

Motorcycles should not be exposed to direct sunlight as it can lead to tire blowouts. Accelerated gasoline evaporation: All vehicles are susceptible to damage from sun exposure, and some are particularly vulnerable. Exposing a motorcycle to direct sunlight accelerates gasoline evaporation. Gasoline is inherently highly volatile, and fuel tank caps are designed with ventilation to allow for pressure equalization. Sunlight exposure effectively heats the gasoline, causing it to evaporate even faster. Additionally, prolonged sun exposure accelerates the aging of metal and other materials used in the motorcycle. Maintenance tips: If the temperature gauge needle points to the high-temperature zone while riding, immediately stop to "cool down" the motorcycle. Choose a shaded, well-ventilated area to open the engine cover for heat dissipation. If there is a "boiling" phenomenon in the radiator, do not turn off the engine or add water immediately.
