Riding In The Snow - Does It Hurt The Engine?

Featured Replies

I find my low speed gets more sensitive and I need to play with my air screw when it's cold

Lucky b*****d.... I can't even find my air screw when it's cold. :huh:

Sounds like you have a very small air screw, I suggest you use special tools :)

My air screw is not always that small, I just pulled my bike out of the stream, the water was cold. and there was a 15 mph wind making a wind chill of -15F, really that's what the problem was. .......... :huh:

isn´t it possible that water gets into the engine and the crankshaftbearings start to rust?

Actually an engine can tolerate a lot of water, as long as it is run up to full operating temp after being drowned

Water skipping sleds are a good example, they do it every day

And again, sleds are almost constantly ingesting snow, there are days when the thing will be pretty much tunneling under deep powder all day and it really has no effect on it

Get out there and ride that thing
