Yamaha's and cold weather

smallblock450sl · 12-11-2009, 08:17 PM

Be for worned. With the 10 to 20 degree weather we've had this past week, I have changed 10 accelerator cables#1 and had to wait for 30 degrees for forward reverse cables to thaw out on several cars. How do you guy's in the mid west cope with this problem?

my for/rev cables gum up when it hits -5C or so but other then that and the grease hardening up the steering its ok! i run mine all winter, when there isn't enough snow for the ski doo.

i wonder if the hard too/ won't shift issue is the oil in the trans thinkening? or is it frozen cables?

Frozen cables. Oh well if there frozen in the forward position and theres snow/ice to play on.....You don't need reverse

I don't use my carts in the winter, how do the sleds cables keep from freezing?

I never had a problem with my cart, it did shift harder but not that bad. What I did have a problem with is water in the gas. I don't run it in the winter much lately (unfortunately) but in the fall I dump in some drygas just in case.
