12) climate/weather - bike runs better when it's warm

The engine will run better when IT is warm (up to operating temperature), but don't internal combustion engines work better when the ambient temperature is colder - the incoming air is more dense, more O2 for combustion, like the reason for having an intercooler on a turbocharger, to cool the incoming air.
