We have a lot of issues here in michigan with them mainly because of weather.The main problem is the engines don't get up to temp and the pistons never quit slapping.It is terrible if you use them on jet ski,s and boats.Air cooled motors like this are a huge problem for the wisco in our conditions. I prefer to use better pistons such as vertex or wossner. The wossner was actually cheaper than the wisco for this bike.I will wait till spring to run bike in because not sure I can get a proper break in winter.Most likly will do the 5 minute run in cool down method.
