According to advice from the Cung Motor Vehicle Maintenance Center (Dinh Cong ward, Hanoi), motorbike users should carefully consider before installing unnecessary accessories, especially those that can keep dirt, soil or affect the vehicle maintenance process.
One of the accessories that technicians recommend not using is the stainless steel cover protecting the exhaust area. This accessory is usually installed for the purpose of limiting scratches, but if the design is tight and creates a seal with the body, dust, soil, or moisture can be trapped inside.
After a long time, accumulated dirt can rub or moisturize the paint surface, affecting the original paint layer. The area of long-term contact may experience surface degradation, even causing hollows or corrosion in some locations.
In addition to the risk to the car, some types of stainless steel tires also have quite sharp edges or edges. During cleaning and washing the car, the performer may accidentally bump into these positions and get scratched or cut hands.
Therefore, car owners should not assume that accessories sold together or introduced at stores are necessary. Before installing, it is necessary to clearly determine whether the accessories really bring benefits and affect hygiene and maintenance.
In addition to exhaust covers, some other accessories also need to be considered such as protective covers that are too tight, accessories that cover heat dissipation positions or items that are added but of unknown origin.
If the design is not suitable, they can hinder cooling, increase weight or cause difficulties in dismantling and maintaining.
For electrical appliances such as lights, horns, chargers or additional connecting accessories, car owners should also choose suitable products and install them correctly. Arbitrary connections can affect the car's electrical system.
Instead of installing many accessories according to the psychology of "the more the better", users should prioritize truly necessary equipment, with clear origins and suitable for the car's design. For accessories that have been installed but do not bring clear benefits, car owners can consider removing them for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
