Getting colder
Temps below 40 this morning, got to start putting more crap on to ride, takes me about 5 min's to get every thing on. Love that windshield tho.
On some cold mornings on my ride to work I make every green light, when its warm out I get every red.
I am getting a little pissed off that the efi bike is cold blooded in the morning too, thought that was supose to be elimanated with efi.

RE: Getting colder
yeah its getting cold here too. my 07 skips now and then till it warms up. its like the ignition shuts off for a second, i can ussually ride no problem at 50. once its 45 or so i cant breath when i go over 25mph. im hoping to ride the bike to work right into december, ill go out if its sprinkling or a light rain but when its pouring out i take the truck.....anyone get a gurgling sound and what sounds like air being released when you turn off the fuel injected sporster? mine is doing it andi wasnt sure if its only me. brian

Yeah it's time to break out the leather jacket. I had a very light jacket before sun up this morning about 58 degrees and felt uncomfortible. I'm wearing my leather in the morning.

RE: Getting colder
It was like 27 degrees when I left for work this morning, high for the day was about 43. [:'(] So why don't you EFI guys warm up your bikes? Too proud? In to much of a hurry? Whatever your excuse is you should let your air cooled engines warm up a bit espeically when the temps get low, if only to let dissimular metals reach an even temp in your engine. You say it takes 5 minutes to put on your cold weather gear, start the bike up first. By the time your dressed the bike's ready to go.
