I read somewhere that it has to do with the moisture that accumulates in the motor. Apparently, you need to be able to warm it up sufficiently and run it long enough to take care of that or you can actually do damage.

Too bad you're done already. I plan to ride through the winter only avoiding rainy days. I know they are numerous but there are breaks with sunshine. Please join the "BC Riders" social group. Click on Quick Links, Social Groups and find "BC Riders".
