Sizing & fit

4 questions
What size should I choose for my motorcycle?

Check our Sizing Guide and compare your bike’s full dimensions, including any windshield, saddlebags, sissy bar, or top case. MotoTarp is designed for real-world setups, so choosing based on your full bike profile will give you the best fit.

Will it still fit with saddlebags, a top case or a tall screen?

Yes — that is what the sizing is built around. Measure your bike as you actually park it, with the luggage and screen fitted, and size from that total length and height rather than from the manufacturer’s bare figures.

What if my bike falls between two sizes?

Take the larger size. A cover that is slightly generous still cinches down with the straps and elastic hem, whereas one that is slightly short will ride up at the wheels and leave the lower bodywork exposed.

Do you have a size for scooters and smaller bikes?

Yes. The range runs from compact sizes suited to scooters and commuters up to full touring dimensions. Check the Sizing Guide for the length, width and height of each size before ordering.

Materials & protection

5 questions
Is MotoTarp waterproof?

MotoTarp is built with heavy-duty waterproof fabric, sealed seams, and a water-repellent coating to help keep your motorcycle protected through rain and everyday outdoor exposure.

How durable is the fabric?

MotoTarp uses heavy-duty 600D fabric designed to resist tearing, friction, sun exposure, and everyday outdoor wear better than standard lightweight covers.

Does it protect against sun and dust?

Yes. MotoTarp helps block UV rays to protect your bike from fading and dust buildup during everyday outdoor parking.

Are the reflective strips useful at night?

Yes. High-visibility reflective details help keep your covered bike safely visible and protected in low-light conditions.

What makes MotoTarp different from standard covers?

MotoTarp combines heavy-duty 600D fabric, a secure tailored fit, high-wind stability, waterproof protection, heat-shield panels, and reflective details - all built for riders who expect more than a standard cover.

Using your cover

5 questions
Will the cover stay secure in the wind?

Yes. MotoTarp is designed with a secure fit, reinforced straps, elastic hems, and an under-bike buckle system to help reduce flapping and keep the cover stable in windy parking conditions.

Can I use the cover right after riding?

MotoTarp includes heat-shield protection near exhaust contact areas, built to withstand heat near high-temperature exhaust zones.

Can I use MotoTarp for long-term outdoor storage?

Yes. MotoTarp is made for daily outdoor parking and longer-term storage, with durable weather protection and ventilation designed to reduce trapped moisture underneath the cover.

Can I lock the cover to the bike?

Yes. Reinforced lock slots on both sides let you pass a disc lock or cable through the cover and the front wheel, so the cover stays put and the bike stays secured at the same time.

How do I clean the cover?

Hose it down and wipe it with mild soap and a soft cloth, then let it air dry fully before folding it away. Avoid machine washing, bleach and hot drying — those are what strip the water-repellent coating.
