Hey all,
So I bought a couple of Honda 125m's a while back, and I'm super impressed.. it's hit -30 here and the things still run fine, I haven't even changed the plugs or oil in them yet (although I should get onto that anyway).
So my question is, how cold do you let it get before you put your 3 wheeler away? If ever..?

I don't put mine away, i'm going to set up my 250r for ice racing this winter. Snow is a blast.

I've ridden my trikes in everything from -10 (that's without the windchill) to 115+ (in the shade).

Since our winters usually stay above freezing, mine don't stop running. Not to mention I use them when I hunt.

This year I plan on keeping out our 125m and the Big Red...... everything else I already have stored away with stabil and full tanks or will turn into a winter project, lol.Originally Posted by f4tty
This year I have a ski set-up for the Red, change both bikes to a lighter weight oil... and ready to go. Today I just pulled out our sleds..... only one mice nest!
hola gringo!!! man....these 200x's are everywhere!! I think honda made an extra 20000 units then dumped them out of planes in remote fields and barns for everyone to find
HELLO, my name is stickers!
Catch me if you can
yeah.. I couldn't imagine have a "riding season" like those guys out west. I'd go nuts in no time at all.
besides riding in the fall.. winter is my favorite time of year to tear it up. not extremely hot like summer and in the spring you deal with tons of mud.

I take mine out of storage in November and put it away in April. Nothing like riding on a frozen lake.

The only time I put mine away is when the snow gets too deep. Usually that is around the month of February, depending on the year of course. Although since it is only for a few weeks I don’t winterize them or anything, I just stop riding till the snow melts/packs down enough.

I don't even take out one of my bikes until it gets below freezing
-30 is really cold though. I broke a pair of ski boots in that kind of cold.
We have been out in -20 without wind chill and the bikes worked great....just make sure you run the jetting fat!!! You wouldn't want to melt a piston.

I don't do anything special for my quad or trikes, but they don't get ridden very much since I get my sled out.

If it's raining or below 50 the Z is not coming out. But I just got a KLT200 that I want to make just for mud so I'll have best of both worlds.
