Carb Heater question

[GaryBode69]

Does anyone have thoughts on whether carb heaters are needed for Summer riding in the UK? (Mine is a 750C1)
Reason for my query is that the connectors directly on each heater were severely corroded leaving very little to connect to.
This was discovered when stripping my carbs to be sent off to be deep cleaned at the back end of last year. (that's another story of woe which I may share soon )

thanks
Gary

I would of thought not personally, heaters are not fitted to my 1100 and its always been fine, not that i use it in the winter

thanks Swampy, interesting to know not all models have the heaters.

Gasoline can freeze at -38C (-100F) so I suppose it depends if UK summers get warmer than that. From what I hear possibly not

My C1 hasn't got any and I don't think it ever did and I have used my bike in winter with no problems.
