Do you need to wait until your bike has cooled down before you can cover it with this lightweight cover?

absolutely! I put it on my bike when the pipes were still slightly warm and the nylon melted right on them. Took weeks to clean that mess up.

I would ask my motorcycle manufacturer. I like to let my bike/engine cool off in this hot weather.

I have gotten the cover on the tail pipe a few times for just a few seconds and it didn't hurt the cover. I wouldn't leave it on for fear of it burning it. I do cover my bike a little after I get in but I leave the cover up off the pipe up on the/or against the saddlebag.

You do not have to wait. The material is good. Downfall is, if you have heavy wind at all, the straps tore apart from the cover and the cover blew away over night. Would not recommend this cover.

Yes my bike is parked outside 24/7 with no trees or protection other then the cover and been through several bad storms and it remains dry. I feel it is the best cover for the job. There was even a small hail storm and it came through un-marked and believe me I was worried. I have also put the cover on right after a ride and no probelms with hot pipes.

There's a brass eyelet on both sides at the bottom of the cover to tie the cover together if required. The BikeParka is also elasticated at the bottom on both ends for a tight wheel-fit.

Hi Ron. I imagine that like any adhesive it would be better to apply these covers when the temperature is neither extremely hot or cold. I have had no issue with these staying on since I applied them, although the temperature range where I live only goes from about 50F (10C) up to 100F (35C). The covers look great & do there job protecting the duco.All the best, Bob.

The sack the bike parka is stored in is separate from the cover itself. The cord you are seeing at the top of the bike is to take the slack out of the cover if it fits too loosely on your bike. Hope this helps.

well it comes with a cover if you want to save it....and i dont see why you can not use it out side, you can always cover it when you are done

The cover is specifically designed to keep rain off your bike. It is also fitted with air vents at the handlebars to allow air to circulate under the cover and to allow gusts of air that get under the cover to escape. The vents also allow any condensation that forms on your bike to escape and it is this feature that, most of all, will stop the rust from forming on your bike. As Jake has advised you, some WD40, or similar, on your chain is also a great idea.

No, but if you wait a few minutes, the exhaust is cool, then cover exhaust. Or, if you mean physical damage, no, but tough nylon. Have mine for 9 month now..no issues

Yes, we usually put the cover on. Used it a bunch of times last season, love the look. We ALWAYS make sure to remove ashes and cool, then cover if rain is expected.

Ive covered mine with a cover I bought for like 20 dollars on amazon. Obviously wait till its completely cool before covering it. The Covers helped so far !

No, not at all. After it cools off, just put the cover on and leave it. I have two of them and leave both outside. They work great.

You can if you want to melt it. I would not put it on until it cooled down to 100 or so. This is by far the best cover for a grill I have found.

It doesn't seem to be totally waterproof. We use it indoors and as a dust cover outside. Fits the touring bike real well.

Hi:The fabric is very sturdy and doesn't stretch but the over BikeParka should be big enough to cover your bike unless it's necessary to pull it all the way to the ground. I leave a handlebar mirror attached to my bike and am still able to cover the whole bike. I can pull the cover more than halfway over the front tire but not all the way to the ground.

Yes and you should put cover on before you put clothes onto rack. This is truly great product but lacking that info. That was my only big OPPs

hi, not certain about sun's impact on the bike cover. unfortunately ours did not survive this year's severe nyc winter. bill

I had to wait until it was a hot day and the steering wheel was warm. You might heat the cover up some so it will stretch also
