What should I let my bike warm up to when I first start it up and take off? I've been waiting until about 120. Should I let it warm up a little bit more or am I ok to take off at 120?

 

I would think 120 is good; not like it is a 20 degree winter start on your car where everything has to expand and contract. I usually go once it starts reading unless its really warm out; mostly just wanting oil to get to everything before putting the load on.

 

Oops double tapped that one!!! [&:]

 

just get on the bike and ride, as long as the oil is flowing you're ok. It will warm up faster once you ride it and apply resistance to the motor.

 

i usually let a number display on the display before rollin out, not to fond of startin it and rollin if the display shows -- i like to let my baby get the juices flowin before i take advantage of her!

 

i agree she needs to be well lubricated before i jump on her back side...

 

hang on - the worst thing you can do for a vehicle is let it idle with low oil preasure...

the best thing you can do is start it, put your helmet on, ride easily for the first few miles to let it warm up. This maintains higher oil preasure and still won't harm the bike

 

let it start up, idle for a few, after you hear the idle go down in revs a bit, rev it a few small times, get on the bike and take it easy to in full temp and then ride however you like

 

+1-once the guage comes on-line you are ready to roll!,then focus on tire temp!
dont go nuts too early during the warm-up process!-else she might bitch slap you!!!

 

i have been bitch slapped a few times in my riding career
