Warming up and running in

So I'm off to pick up my new YBR at 3, can anyone give me a rough idea of how long I should run it in for and how long I should warm it up for when it's starting from cold?

The manual will tell you how long you need to run it in, often there'll be one very restricted period (no more than a certain revs) and then a second period once you've done X miles (no more than a certain higher amount of revs) and then you're good to go.

Don't worry about warming it up, just get on and go!

So long as you don't immediately go redlining down the street having just started from cold, there's nothing wrong with starting it up and riding off straight away, no. Just be a bit gentle with it until it reaches operating temperature.

Not least of all because the engine will warm up a lot faster when it's being used instead of just ticking over!

I agree with above, I start up on choke whilst I put my gloves on, shut choke off and go. No hard acceleration until warmed up. I'm not hard on bike anyway as I'm a wooos...lol Thumbs Up

You'll know it's warmed up when you can close the choke again and it keeps running at idle :p

my bike is cold blooded...very shit so it needs warming up, i do happen to leave all my bikes for 2 or 3 minutes while i chuck my gear on just to make sure its atleast warm.

aluminium has finished expanding and changing shape at roughly 60 degrees.

so only rag it when its at about 60.

before then, dont take it above half revs.

ignore the above posts. its a new bike, so you may as well keep it that way as long as you can.

running in, do what you like really, consider it a cold engine so dont really go much over half revs, but make sure you rag it properly after 100 miles or so briefly.

i didn't go over 6k rpm, which is about 45mph, just use all the revs between idle and 6k a lot, change gear a lot. Same when starting the bike, i don't go over 6k rpm for a few miles until i'm sure it's warm.

oh and sitting at 20mph in 5th will cause strain on the engine as it'll be trying to pull a gear at too low speed which is can't do may i add.

The dealer should brief you before you ride away.

Running in depends on the bike.

The manual of my CBR stated a rev ceiling, which increased up to 1000 miles after new.

My ER6 was pretty much the same, albeit somewhat less revs (relatively speaking) and a more 'gentle' run in process than the CBR.

I have a manual for my DRZ, but didn't buy it new. It states the amount of throttle that should be used for different mileages, but nothing about revs - as it doesn't have a rev counter. The Suzuki manual is a lot more loose in terms of running in.

As for warm up, the YBR appears to be fuel injected, so just let it run through its automated warm up procedure.

How many miles are you saying before I can redline the nutsack off it all day?

I'd take it easy for 100 miles, do an oil change and ride it normally from then on.

I just picked the badboy up, he said take it easy but don't constantly low rev it and it should be fine

He also said I don't need to warm it up as it's fuel injection :l
