Warming Up

[DrewNJ]

Also, remember back in the 2-stroke days? You'd stick a piston without warmup and flogging it cold...lol.

I DO remember that! :shocked:
I had a race-built engine in my 1992 Polaris XCR 440 (turned into a 520).
It needed to be up to full operating temperatures before you dared to grab any throttle... nojoke

I will wait till the RPM's drop to 900 before I take off. That's only a minute after I start the Spyder.
I noticed there wasn't that awful clunking sound when putting it in gear if I wait.

Bingo I'm with you on this one my friend.

Well I shot out a little earlier today. I didn't wait for the bar but still gave it a good minute. Old habits die hard.

I messed up my Yamaha 80cc one lunger that way. No one told me, was my first bike, and since it was a year old when purchased, the dealer could not find the owners manual. No, they would not fix it on their dime. :roflblack:
