Stunning weather? Only if you're a Polar Bear!

😁Once the studs are on you want some snow and ice.

they use salt on the roads there? I trailered my bike through some salty slushy crap a year ago and I'm finding rust and cororsion all over the place, can't imagine what riding in it on a regular basis would do to the bike....although i've always been interested in ice racing with studded tires....

Yeah, there is salt on the roads from time to time. Can't say I've had a lot of rust on the bike after a season of winter riding. The signal horn and the Exhaust manifold are the two spots where rust build up over time. I use WD40 to prevent the levers and springs from freezing and bolts from corrosion. Other than that I treat the bike like during summer. I have it out doors around the clock. Maybe the chain needs a bit more attention and the brake calipers a good cleaning when spring arrives. Just use warm gear and have a laugh😁

... And maybe some extra cleaning when checking the valve clearance 🛀

I like the Silver color👍. Which flyscreen is that if I may ask?

Gooing air-cooled this winter!

Just kidding. A Tip is to remove the hoses and clean up under, a lot of dirt had accumulated on my bike. Guess it could find it's way into the Coolant over time.

@Cw09
Do you have any video material to share when going down the strip on your bike?

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

I have a few runs on Facebook or messenger but I can't get them to transfer here

Ok, I've never uploaded a video here either so cant tell how to😀

A little tip: If you have your bike outdoors, dont forget to use lock oil if you are in a hurry to get going. My key got stuck and broke while trying to turn it. Had to use the grinder on my abus Granit to get it of the wheel.

Remember this one?

Not very glamorous

ran out of petrol (again) on a highway in Dubai

Did the same thing once, always use the trip meter since. Not to much pain to get going again I hope. How are those mirrors working, do you have a front picture to share?
