Drained out 50 weight oil and replaced with 10W40 Napa brand oil and 4 oz of Seafoam. Let bike idle for 20 minutes and exercised gears and clutch before taking it to the football stadium parking lot. Did seven miles worth of parking lot riding to free up the clutch and allow myself to shift between the different gears again. Did five miles on the road to get the bike up to 55mph.
Exercising gears after the freeze
Buzzed around the football parking lot exercising my newly freed gears until it would shift smoothly. Then took it out on the road up on highway 20 to 53rd and then over to Harrison and back around on 11th to Samantha’s house.
7 miles in the parking lot, 5 miles on the road Rode alone.
Broken down in Walla Walla
Broke down in Walla Walla, Washington. The bike would not shift out of 1st gear. Tried bleeding the clutch. Added more 50 weight oil to the bike to see if that would help matters (it was low on oil). Nothing worked. Had to get it trailered to Richland, WA where I loaded it into a U-Haul and drove it back to Corvallis.
