Warm up

Do any of you let your bike warm up before you ride off? Generally I don't but take it easy until it reaches something like 75c but this morning i open the throttle and nothing happened then it went, felt like turbo lag...........has anyone else had this happen to them? will letting it warm up prevent this? cheers

Warm Up.

Couldn't agree more mate. Get it out and start it, and by time you've closed the garage, got the leathers, helmet and gloves on it's starting to read on the temp guage. It doesn't take any more time to do and has to be better for the motor. Besides, it adds to the experience of riding something you've paid alot of hard earned cash for as it sits there purring away waiting. Bring it on. Shame the Summer's over. Has anyone else ditched the OE number plate hanger? I bought a replacement and it's so much better for having all that plastic crap removed. Just a bit fiddly reconnecting new indicators, but worth the effort. A good job for those 'orrible Winter days.

re warm up

any pics of the finished article? I was out all day round the lake district on saturday and when i got home i spent over an hour trying to get all the crap off and still never managed to get it all off. Have you any idea how to put the front indicator back on? i've managed to knock mine against something and its coming off and i can't quite get the plastic over the other plastic - if you know what i mean............its being a right pig

Also i've started letting the bike warm up and then taking it easy for a bit and it responds a lot better.

Warm up

Hi angellus. Don't know what the fault was, but that sounds like an electrical problem. As far as warming up is concerned, you should never rev the bike hard on a cold engine, but when people say to warm the bike up until the temperature reads so and so, some dont realize that its not the engine you are actually warming up, its the oil. Oil will take approximately 15 to 20 mins of normal riding to get to optimum working temperature. So it all depends how eager your throttle hand is as to how well you warm the bike up.
