 |

what do people suggest for warming up my cg, i usually warm it up till it will rev ok on half choke then ride it gently for a mile or so.
does this sound ok or do i not really need to bother at all with these?
what do you recon?
cheers

sounds ok to me.
depends on the individual CG really, mine used to start first kick every kick but power would be down if I did not let it warm up for 2-3 minutes before riding.
Cheers

Sounds fine to me too. I've found they splutter and generally sound a bit rough until they're warmed up, but once they're cooking, 10000 rpm sure does sound nice. 
Thing is, I've an annoying vibration in my right footpeg at about 7-8k rpm, so of course I have to wind it up to get away from it. You want the choke on for as little time as you can get away with too though, just make sure you're not having to rev it too hard to make it keep running without it.
Mine (as far as it is a CG125) has a tendency to die if you rev it when it's cold, really needing the choke on to start properly at all.

Never heard of that one. Doesn't mean it's not true, just I've not heard of it. Basically, you get to know how the engine sounds at different rpm. In any gear but fifth, if it's starting to howl at you it really needs changing up. (Howling on mine starts at about 8k rpm) I personally think changing at arbitrary rpm figures is unneccesary anyway. (Though I would, with a broken tachometer.) 
I know whether I'm pushing my bike by how far around the throttle is. There's the last 2k rpm or so for which I have to adjust my hand to twist to, I don't use that range in anything but top, so just don't adjust my grip to twist the extra.

Good good, just helps ease my mind as to whether my clutch is about to explode.
