To warm up or not to warm up, that is the question. (Or so it would appear )
Tbh I always let my bike idle for roughly five minutes before setting off. The reason being is purely down to the fact that I was advised to do this when I took my CBT. At the start of the training, my instructor got me to start my bike up "to warm it up" while he went through some questions and letting me know what to expect during the training.
As someone who knew sweet FA about bikes, I just went with it. After all, he was the instuctor and had years of riding experience, so why wouldn't I take this advise on board? This is something that has stuck with me ever since. |

My bike is one of the most important things in my life, I'm not going to risk damaging it because someone doesn't enjoy the smell or sound of a 2 stroke engine.
Luckily my neighbours don't seem to mind, i think. Only noise complaint i've had was when drilling through half inch thick steel on a boat trailer with blunt drill bits |

I think it's only necessary to warm your bike up if its a classic bike they used to use syrup for oil which needs warming to get to a liquid state, |

Manual chokes on all my ex-bikes.
On my first 125, I did do the "warm up" thing, but the choke was mounted on the carb under the tank (CG125 stylee).
Since then though I've just ridden away, including on the GPz305 with the choke mounted down on the carb. It's as easy to get into a ride-off, choke-off routine as it is to do start-gear-up-choke-off. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
GONE: HN125-8, LF-250B, GPz 305, GPZ 500S, Burgman 400 // RIDING: F650GS (800 twin), Royal Enfield Bullet Electra 500 AVL, Ninja 250R because racebike |
