My handlebar grips are getting sticky and this gunk is appearing on them. More appears if I rub them with my thumb, and some is the color of the grips themselves. Are they just shitty grips? Secondly, the literature that came with my new rain cover recommends avoiding putting it on the scooter while it's still hot, presumably because the exhaust pipe will be touching it. Is there a good way to prevent my rain cover from melting if I want to put it on while the scooter is still hot?

It looks like your grips are deteriorating. You shouldn't put a cover on a hot bike. Any moisture trapped on the bike will create a sauna effect. Great for corrosion.

Buy some new grips. Wait for the scoot to cool down before covering.
