Hi mate, it’s not water tight. I would take cover off and clean regularly. Spray contact with ac50. My mate just sent his back to tredz for repair. He’s gutted
I would try hope fortus 30 or 35 mate. I got the 35s and had 4 rides on them before I took them off and sold the bike before my Whyte turned up. They are like new in the attic. They totally changed the feel of the bike, felt much more stable.
I’m waiting for a e180 which has finally got to the uk. The shop lends me a demo most weekends. I have had the 150 a few time and it rides lovely. Very capable bike
