I am a new bike owner and I was wondering at what temperature is the bike considered warmed up? (bike in question is a '02 f4i) thanks in advance.

 

Water temp above 170F is what I consider warmed up. And not a lame question at all.

 

The last article I read about warm up temp, (an interview with Amsoil), suggested 145 deg's minimum before you start riding.

If your reffering to tuning warm up specs, such as operating temp, then I would say at least 180.

I agree with chainstrecher though, I usually warm my bike to around 160-170 before I start riding.

 

Thanks! I was wondering why at 130 temp the acceleration at high RPM was just not the same as when I ride for a while.
