How cold is to cold for the spyder?
How cold before damage is done to the spyder motor can you ride in? I think the oil in my 4 stroke snowmobile is the same as the spyder’s, so I assume temperature should not matter as long as it warms up for 3 minutes or so before reving her up. Just curious. I’ve riden my 1000 can am wheeler in the much colder too. Today was the coldest I have ever road a spyder. It was 30 degrees. With the windshield, snowmobile helmet and klim jacket with the heated grips and heated seat it was extremely comfortable. It nothing like a -30 degree day with ultra low windshield in on the sleds.

I DON’T get cold. I have the best gear out there. I’ve run the coldest of the coldest on the sleds in the mountains of canada, Montana, Tetons, michigan and Vermont. I remember waking up one morning in my snowmobile toyhauler with the furnace running all night and the doors were frozen shut at -40.

I got my masters degree in Technology education in Bermidgi. Loved it up there but I was only making $19000 as a school teacher and couldn’t afford it.

Should think no difference in riding or driving in sub zero Deg C for the vehicle - its the person that is the different factor. Used to ride my Ducati in 0 deg C all the time

Don't know about the Spyder as yet, but I've ridden and ST1300 in 19 degree weather without heated gear. From my one test ride on a 2011 RT, I imagine I could do better on the Spyder, the wind pocket is bigger/better.
