    Wait till it is -30 to -40. Nothing wants to work. Gears do not want to change. Springs and shocks are solid. Speedo goes nuts. Shows 180k in first gear!!!!! Tire sidewalls are solid and tires feel square. Even the seat springs don't really work. At first it is like sitting on a very cold board.
    After a few miles things warm up and start to work normally.

    I'm going to cross check my pressure gauge and make sure its correct, and check pressures of course.

    After a chilly day tomorrow temps get spring like agin next week. It will bbe interesting to see if the problem disappears...

    What's your opinion on changing pressures during winter donks?

    I add air when the pressure is below the recommended values regardless of winter or summer.
