Inactivity may cause the motorcycle tire to deteriorate. Especially if you do not take into account a series of tips that we will offer you in this post.

Although they are not used, the covers have an expiration date, and they lose their properties over time.

If you are going to have your motorcycle stopped for an extended period of time, it is advisable to release your weight by placing it on the center stand so that the tires do not deform.

You can also hold the bike with cleats to prevent the tires from having to support all their weight, which can cause them to deform and have no choice but to replace them.

And if the motorcycle does not have a central stand and you have it in a vertical position, which is the ideal rest position to keep the engine components, it is important that you change its position from time to time so that it does not remain in the same for very long periods of long time.

In case you decide to hibernate during the cold and rainy months, it is best to have it in a garage. Adverse weather agents or prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the components with which the gums are made to lose their properties and end up deteriorating.

Of course, watch out for solvents or aggressive chemicals for gum. It prevents the tires coming into direct contact with them, because they can be harmful.

Oils, detergents and cleaning products such as bleach or ammonia can be very harmful. Therefore, if your bike is stored in the garage and you are going to clean, make sure that the wheels do not come into contact with these products at any time.

Pressure and exposure to sudden changes in temperature

Even if tire wear is not produced by contact with the asphalt, the same effects can also be generated if the motorcycle remains stationary and the necessary precautions are not taken.

If you find it impossible to place the bike on the center stand because you do not have it, you can not place it on cleats or borriquetas and you will find it difficult to change it regularly of position. Therefore, we recommend that you increase the tire pressure by 1 bar. Thus, the cover will not be so flat resting on the floor and will not deform as much.

The seal between the rim and tire is still penetrable even if the motorcycle does not circulate and remains stationary, hence the importance of constantly carrying out a pressure check and adapting them to the circumstances.

Even if your motorcycle is stored in a garage, if there is a possibility that the sun's rays may come into contact with them, it is advisable to protect them by covering the tires with any plastic or cloth that does not let the light through. The sun can dry and degrade the gum.

Be very careful with sudden changes in temperature and humidity. They can dry out the gum and cause it to deteriorate prematurely. Therefore, you should not keep tires that you want to use again..

Another factor that influences the deterioration due to inactivity is quality. Cheap tires can be damaged more easily and faster than if they are of a higher quality, such as the one offered by Bridgestone.

And if the motorcycle tire has been used before, it is important that you perform a visual inspection before storing the vehicle to rule out that the rubber has hidden punctures, cracks or cracks that can cause deterioration to be greater and, whenever you want back to driving your motorcycle, you are forced to have to change the wheels.
