I went in the mountain for a ride in the snow this morning.
I was having a lot of fun with it, until the motor started to have hesitations and growling on accelerations. It went worse, up to the point that it was not giving any power and only growling hard when given throttle. Then, when I was standing aside and testing the throttle, it started running backwards.
Well, since it had always doing perfect until now, I figured out that the only problem was the snow, and that water would have shorted hall sensor wires in the connector that was quite low and full of snow and mud. I cleaned it, blown some air in the holes and on pins, replugged it and was able to drive back home as it was now going frontward, but still growling alot.
Now the bike is drying in the garage, I decided to test it again when dry, and see if my only problem might be waterproofing the connectors.
Had anyone tried his bike in the snow, does anyone have an opinion on what else could be wrong and the best way to avoid such annoyments in the future?
