The first winter (1998) that I had my M900, I rode it through the winter. Not the most wonderful experience, icing up of the carbs in snowy condition, was the most inconvenient. However the worst issues were due to salt, the engine unit went All furry with the paint peeling off, I suspect it also accelerated paint peel on the wheels. On top of that brake calipers becoming sticky was also an issue.
