snow running
hey guys, i was just out running my muggy in the snow, and there is about 1/2 inches of and it is still falling 
but i was wondering is there anything else i should do besides get the electronics waterproofed? everything is stock except for the 12t clutch bell.........and man running in that 1/2inch was a blast just power sliding everywhere!!!!

RE: snow running
Well, it's damaging to run the engine below 190 so you should block the air intake on the body and/or wrap the cooling head in something, take off you sock and put it over it or wrap it in aluminum foil until the temps are steady at around 210-235 be careful not to over-do it. If the engine is too cold the piston and sleeve can't expand properly and it wears it out.

RE: snow running
yeah i think im going to get a Fioroni Clutch for mine when i get the money but i geared it down to a 12t clutch bell and got 2 tanks on a clutch so hopefully that did the trick gearing it down a tooth...and running in the snow is a blast! i have about 3inches and 1inche of ice on top!!
