PC Minibike randomly catches on fire ??

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but when I searched "minibike fire" in the keywords nothing came up !

Anyway, I was riding my minibike back to where I'm set up at and retrieved items from it to run inside, and noticed that all my parts' "health" were still all nearly full. 10 minutes go by while I'm working on building and I look over and my minibike is smoking and a small flame from the engine. I look into the bike's inventory and all my parts are now completely empty/ broken. I know repair kits will fix the issue, but I'd like to know what causes this ? It's happened to my girlfriend before and I assumed it was perhaps zombies hitting the bike, but I'm positive no zombies were around it this time. Thanks for any information !

 
I have seen reports of this before but I don't think it's a common problem. Had the bike stopped moving before you got off it and/or was it free from any obstruction (could it have clipped into a block, perhaps)?

 
I had come to a complete stop before getting off, and it's in the middle of an intersection in a town. No other blocks (cars, trash, etc) at all nearby.

 
The only time my bike has caught on fire was when i was driving up my ramp with the drawbridge up. Bike jumped over the flat top and landed on spikes thus setting it on fire and wrecking all of the parts. So I assume the spikes wore down the durability and it caught on fire because of this, were any of your parts low on HP and wore down hitting an animal or zombie just before the fire?

 
No, I hadn't hit any animals prior to getting off the bike and the hp levels were near full at that time. 10 minutes pass without touching the bike and the hp was depleted and on fire.

 
I had a random bike fire. Yeah it was repaired from previous spike damage. But days later caught fire. Not sure if a zombie or two got snagged on it and damaged it or what. I had to take all the pieces apart and repair it again. But after day 240 I got MD5 bug. So never checked back to see if the bike is okay yet.

 
we haven't had a bike randomly cathc fire while sitting out in the open, but we have had unattended bikes randomly phase into other blocks. we have had to chip one out of a garage ceiling twice, a brick road once, and carve out of 3 trees. i also had one teleport itself from a bedrock level tunnel over 100m to the surface.

 
Someone a while back had a theory that this happens if you drive your bike in the burnt area thru the burning charcoal. Some of my bikes were doing this for a while. They just randomlycatch fire.

Are you host? Did you build the bike yourself?

 
While running through the the Burnt biome, if I run across the embers there seems to be a chance to catch fire.

The same appears to true for riding your mini bike through the Burnt biome. I just keep riding until it goes out. It rarely lasts very long.

There has been a couple of occasions that I have parked my mini bike out of the way for horde night (in the forest biome). So far away that no zombies should have been near it. The building that I parked next to would render in (that far away). After horde night I came back to my mini bike at 0% durability and smoking.

 
Yeah a couple of games ago I had a bike in shambles after a fight with some zombies. I couldn't figure out why, but just assumed that some of the zombies had hit it. As far as the disappearing minibike problem goes, I've only had it happen once in the last 6 months or so. I had assumed this was fixed, but no. I had to dig it out of the ground even though it was sitting on a wood frame platform. Luckily it was just below ground level.
