These 5 Motorcycle Components Are Prone to Damage When the Rainy Season Hits

3. Tires

For safety and comfort on the road, the tires are also important to check. They must be in prime condition, not worn out or bald.

Usually, the signs that a tire needs to be replaced can be seen when the tread is thin, there are bumps or waves, or it feels wobbly when turning.

If you have experienced the characteristics above, it is recommended to replace it with a new tire. So your journey will be safer during the rainy season.

4. Brakes

Dirt accumulating on the brake caliper can disrupt your journey. Therefore, you must clean it regularly.

Then, drain the brake fluid and replace it with new fluid. This is to ensure it works optimally when used on the road.

“If the brake fluid is low, there's a fear that air could get in and cause brake failure, so it must be cleaned,” he said.

5. CVT

Lastly, the components in the CVT should not be missed during inspection. Especially if you often ride through floods during the rainy season.

“Everything inside can rust if you often ride through floods. My advice is not to start the motorcycle right away, drain all the water first,” Mulyono concluded.

He also urged motorcycle owners not to force their way through floods during the rain. Especially if the water is as high as the CVT.
