it wont hurt anything.. if your tank is super full the fuel may expand out the breatherhose a little... it gets hot for a long time in Japanese summers and the UV is high.
The downside to leaving a biek out in the sun is that the UV from the sun will degrade the plastic switchgears and fade the paint.
Any cheap motorcycle cover (ebay / amazon) will do id imagine as long as its not see through

Just watch that it doesn't melt onto a hot exhaust etc...
