Hi
I do not believe it is the cold that breaks the membrane.
I have used my @ all year round for 4 years. 93 RD07. Between 1 and 3.000kms each winter. The bike has now run 86.500km.
The MC is stored in a cold garage, and quite often started in cold weather, often -20 or even a bit colder. And I have not even been very careful to let it idle until warm. No problems at all of any kind.
I was at this years first MC meeting with the bike last weekend. Having a big campfire and sleeping in the woods from saturday to sunday. Quite fun!

>Hi Guys,
>my problem is solved: again, another carburettor membrane has broken.
>I really can't understand this: since membranes got broken during this winter and my bike is left (about one night each week) outdoor, I think that cold could be the cause. Wen I start in the morning I take the bike either from my garage (which is not cold) or an outdoor parking place, I run the engine for 3-5 minutes than I ride about 2-3 km without passing 100 km/h. Should I warm more the engine?
>Nevertheless, most of you Atics live and ride in colder climates, but I've never heard about broken carburettor membranes among other Atics.
>I must also confess that this fact has lessened my love for AT.
>Can someone give me suggestions, advices, or explanations?
