Well my coldest was up in the Rockies and Grand Tetons on our way to and from Sturgis. We were up in the alpine past the tree line during July and it was fricking cold. I cannot remember the Temp on the GOPS. Will have to ask S.O.

My coldest ride was when I went for the scooter/motorcycle road test. I
had been practicing circles and 8's diligently, called in for a test
date in mid-September, and was shocked when they scheduled me for late
October. It was cold weather, 28 degrees, so I put a 100 Watt lamp
under the engine and covered the scoot to be sure it would start. I
wore an extra sweater and wound a scarf around my neck, and didn't get
any colder during the 20 minute run to the inspection station. I
passed, it was about as hard as falling off a log, and the ride home was
much warmer. This was with my old Vento with no wind shield.

Record lows are expected in the area for the entire week.
I suspect tomorrow morning through Friday morning will be below 20 degrees
when I head out
in the mornings on the flexer, brrrr.

Re: File - REMINDER - Check your oil each ride day

G'day.
Thats very interesting about the oil check proceedure. I now have a Forza 250-x 07 (new shape)that was puchased new 6 months ago after my 2001 Forza was wrecked in a collision. On my earlier model bike, i think i checked the oil as you have described. Before leaving for work and after sitting for a full night on the center stand i would check it.
Now, heres where i get a little confused. It says in the manual for the new bike that the oil check proceedure should be as follows-
1. Place bike on center stand
2. Start engine and let it idle for 2-5 mins (i guess to get the oil
distributed through the engine) without snapping at the throttle.
3. Turn off ignition and let sit for 2-3 mins
Then you just check the oil in the normal way.
What i dont get about it all is why and how could it be so much different to the old model???

Here is a picture (if i can attatch the pic sucsessfully)of my poor old Forza with my brand newie. I have to admit it was sad to see her go but, in saying that, the new model is sooooo nice to ride!!!
