How long do you guys warm your 600's up for, before riding them? (if at all!!)

leave it runing for a couple of minutes then gentle ride it till its warm along with the wheels

 

[rene]

normaly let her idel while putting on leathers ect, then first 2 miles (if i can stop my self) i take it easy then its off the limiter every gear

 

[shaun1988]

same as rene, warm the bike up wilst putting my bike gear on, then just ride kinda slow for a minute or so

 

[CrazyLittleRossi]

Same as rene,full choke...start...coupla small revs,choke off, let her idle, lock the garage up, do me jacket up, lid,gloves, take a slow ride to the petrol station. About 3-4 minutes after left station I ride to my useual manor

 

[dude]

i warm mine up if im planning on nailing it otherwise i just get on and ride. i don't always nail it on way to work you see.

 

[rene]

4t dont really need warming up like a 2t just ride gental for a while

 

[Dannygpr]

Ill start it up on the choke idleing at 2-3k rpm put my helmet on then take it off the choke so its ticking over on 1k then wack my gloves on shut the garage door, check my pockets are done up, go thro my village at 30mph in a high gear bout a mile later the beast gets a thrashing

 

[d1bram]

With 4t warming up is far less crucial than 2t, but any engine benefits from a little warming up, get the oil up to temperature and circulating. Also riding a bike with the choke on is not a very good idea really. As others have said, on a 4t I'd get the bike out, start it and let it idle while I kit up, shut the garage etc, take it steady for the first couple of minutes then game on

 

[RstredS]

4t warmimg up is crucial, some argue more then 2t. The oil nees to be warmed and thin enough to reach the head and get pushed around.

 

[chadz]

i do same crak it up put gear on then slowly ride down to set off traffic lights down road from me make sure ill hit red so warm up a bit more lolol

but were i work car people are stupid i even told 1 they still need warming up and na no they dont they just get in then fuk of sraieght away we fins at 9pm to at night so the cars will be cold

there like cya when im warming bike up and i still over take em later on down road lolol

 

[Dannygpr]

i dont bother with my car either tbh, didn't think you should really as the red line on my car is 6 and i change gear at like 3k so the engine doesnt really get a thrashin ever.

 

[numpty]

the majority of car engines are in a very low state of tune so dont really need warming up at all.

 

[tommyb]

Choke on, start it, wait till it revs till 4k on hte choke then let the choke off and leave it to idle at 1k whilst i put my gear on...Give it a few blips of the throttle upto about 5k then wait till it shows 40c on the temp gauge then take it easy for abit till it reaches 55-60 then start to pick the pace up.

 

[d1bram]

As for cars, I've always believed in letting mine warm up before giving it some, even more so since I've driven a diesel, always wait for the preheater light to go out before starting etc, then take it easy untill the temp guage is middling.

Now that I'm in a company car though that all goes out of the window and it's bounced of the rev limiter from the moment of turning the key PMSL

 

[superfly108]

my temp gauge shows lines until its warmed up to 43'c so i just wait till then

 

[doodlebug]

Start it and GO, as for the car, f*ck it it aint mine lol

 

[ukbilleh]

press button + wait for 40c on the dash then GO lol

but i dont nail it tbh - very rarely hammer the sh*t outta it cus im a pussy

 

[tommyb]

WHAT!!! gimme your bike then ill be more than happy to rag it for you. If your a pussy why did you buy the most aggrssive 600 out there?lol

 

[Saint Matt]

Don't have a bike any more but mine got warmed up for about 5 miles or so. On my car VTEC won't work if it's cold lol, too clever for it's own good. It's worth remembering that you're wearing your engine the most when it's cold because your oil doesn't lubricate at its peak, so 4ts need warming up as well as 2ts. Also, you can rev an engine to its redline from cold and do less damage than giving it full throttle at low revs, it's all about load and stress, not engine revs!
