Should You Use a Motorcycle Cover?


Modern-day motorcycles are built to withstand most weather conditions. Most bikes can get wet without the parts and system being damaged. However, older bikes cannot handle rain and other harsh conditions.


So, should you use a motorcycle cover? That's all depends on the motorcycle you have. However, it is essential to cover your bike even though it can survive the harshest weather conditions. Covers protect your bike from damages that could be incurred during these conditions. The covers will save you from having to leave your motorcycle to dry under the sun for hours.

 

Covering your motorcycle before it rains is a great way to keep your bike dry and in good condition. It also protects your bike exterior from the scorching sun. There are various covers that you can use to keep your bike protected.

● Seat cover: The cover keeps the seat cool to not burn you when you jump on. The cover, however, doesn't protect your tank, handlebars or grip.

● Half cover. The cover protects your handlebar, seat, tank and grip. It covers half the bike. It is very easy to handle and store.

● Full cover. The covers protect the entire motorcycle. The cover protects every single part. However, the covers are hard to store and carry.

 

Should you cover a wet motorcycle?

You should not cover a wet motorcycle, as covering it when wet can cause corrosion in the electrical system and other parts. This will lead to a faulty bike. Therefore, dry it thoroughly before covering it. Ensure to use the wind to blow moisture off the tiniest and inaccessible parts.

What to search for when purchasing a cover?

● The size of the cover you need. Some covers are smaller than others. You have to make sure that the cover you choose fits your motorcycle.

● Waterproof or water-resistant cover

● Sun and UV protection

● What parts do you want to cover; is it half the bike, full cover or just a seat cover.

 

It can be hard to get a review on the best covers in the market. The best way to search for advice is by asking other riders or your motorcycle repair or service person.
