Good day all!
Let me begin by saying, winter sucks. Anywho! Last night I rode my bike about 70 odd miles to hang out with my best mates, This morning i woke up and it was in the mid 40s maybe a little lower and the bike was acting like i had no clutch. My my handle was super soft and even with my front brake squeezed in, she kept leaping forward and stalling soon as i put her into first gear. But here I am far from work and home so i had no choice but to make the adventure, But by time i got half way or so to work my clutch was half working and felt like it was working normal by time i got to work.
So my question is thus... Can cold weather effect my Clutch to the point it disables until it warms up? IE, do i have to warm my bike up in these winter months like I do my car?
