Is It Okay To Leave My Motorcycle Out In The Rain?

9/26/2022

1 Comment

 
Picture
Motorcycles are weather-resistant in their basic functionality right out of the factory. They are intended to function in a wide range of settings. 

Hot and cold temperatures, clean and unclean places, dry and rainy weather, and everything in between are examples of these conditions. Critical electrical components are protected, sensitive surfaces are coated with protective coatings, and water-holding areas are reduced.
​
If you clean, dry, and lubricate the sensitive sections, leaving your motorbike out in the rain will not always result in harm. Extended weather exposure can rust your motorcycle's chain, sprockets, and brake discs. Neglect, rather than rain, is the most common cause of motorbike damage.
Are Motorcycles Waterproof?
Motorcycles are not waterproof, at least not because their general design cannot be completely watertight. 
If you immerse a motorbike in water, you can be sure that some of it will make its way to the engine and carburetor. Of course, the stated circumstance is extreme, and you would never subject your motorbike to such treatment.

What Happens If Vulnerable Areas Get Wet?
If susceptible parts such as electrical connections, switchgear, brake systems, and batteries are repeatedly wet, their functions will gradually deteriorate until they are no longer responsive. These areas are extremely vulnerable to water.

How to Keep Your Motorcycle Dry in the Rain
The easiest approach to safeguarding your motorbike from rain damage is to keep it inside a garage or, at the very least, beneath a carport. Many passengers do not have access to covered parking. A high-quality motorbike cover is your best choice in those circumstances.

Get a motorbike cover that can breathe for the best protection from direct sunlight and moisture, both of which can cause corrosion. It allows moisture to evaporate rather than accumulate behind the cover. 

A low-cost tarpaulin is a horrible idea. Trapped moisture may lead to corrosion and mildew, which can be worse than simply keeping your bike outside.

You should perform some things regularly to keep your motorcycle in excellent condition. Check it regularly, and if any damage is discovered, take it to a reputable service center.

Remember that how you store, maintain, and ride your motorbike impacts how it operates and how long it lasts.

Final Words
You don't have to be anxious about your motorbike if the rainy season arrives because it is built to handle this type of weather. However, adequate maintenance is required to keep it in excellent shape and make it endure.
