Hi everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right area.
Here is my scenario: I drove my bike on Monday (12/15/08) because it was almost 60º in NYC. Then I put my bike back in its spot. That spot is outside. I covered the bike with a bike cover and kiss it good night. This past Friday (12/19/08) through today (Monday 12/22/08) the temperatures in NYC were low, below freezing. Today it is in the teens.
I was also waiting on my friend to lend me his garage for the winter. He just said yes and I want to move it there. But because of these low temperatures, I'm afraid that the pistons, rubber ring and block itself have fused together. Just like my car door and its rubber seam this morning. So all this leads me to my questions.
How bad is it to start the bike in the cold or after very cold days? What damage can I get from stating my bike after it been sitting in the cold?
Thank you all.
