I only use it when running in powdery snow when it is below 32*F. Mileage goes down when running them and performance is more sluggish.

I've never turned mine on at all, however i only ride on hardpack or lakes. The powder would make a bit of a difference. But mine i have no problems with as long as theres a good warm up period

the main purpose is to keep the carbs from icing up. I only run them when in powder, when alot of snow builds up inside the hood.

Performance loss is there, but they do their job...
