The cold

So I rode the bike into work. Temps were high 30 low 40. Was able to see my breath.

Anyways, bike started chugging again, so I am truly thinking that my bike hates the cold. I read in one of the posts that the carburator can actually get ice on it with the wind and the vacuum is just too much for it. Temps are supposed to be in the high 50 low 60's on the way home, so we will see how it runs.

Night Post:

Rode it home. No chugging. Idle was a little high, so I will adjust that tomorrow. I will also be doing a small run, probably about an hour, around one of the major rides in the area that people like to take.

I thought it was leaking from the primary drain bolt. But it also looked like it was leaking from a bunch of other places. All of it the same colored fluid. Kind of looked around, turns out it looks like its the transmission drain tube burping out some fluids. So no big deal, besides the corrosion that its causing. So I will try to rinse some of that off tonight and take a look at it after the ride tomorrow.
