But now is B/W season. Very few natural colors besides the sky.

Looks like seasons are shifting, as we had a very late and rainy spring.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-56536537501822516162015-09-29T16:48:30.626-08:002015-09-29T16:48:30.626-08:00The Ural recommendation is for 5w30 for really col...The Ural recommendation is for 5w30 for really cold temperatures.

But, I'm in the "may not feel up to it" camp on that. After the problems that Bruce from Ketchikan had, I don't think it's worth the trouble. In spite of being made in Siberia the US spec Ural is just not designed to be used in really cold temperatures. I'll add that it's not designed to be used in snow or rain either...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-40160840133170998862015-09-29T13:13:08.576-08:002015-09-29T13:13:08.576-08:00there has to be a way to heat that crankcase vent ...there has to be a way to heat that crankcase vent but I get your point, and no, you need not prove anything, you've done so. All the snow you've gotten so far, would lock up Denver nicely for a few days.<br /><br />in case you feel up to it though, what about rerouting some of the hot exhaust gases from the muffer to block on the crankcase vent? I know, weird but it popped into my head as I typed the previous stuff.<br /><br />redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-18200373659671159602015-09-29T12:12:43.657-08:002015-09-29T12:12:43.657-08:00The snow is also pretty up close as well.
