So to the topic of warming up, I am curious what everyone feels is a “warm” motor.

Some may say the machine sitting at idle for fifteen or twenty minutes is “warm” others may say idle for five minutes or so and then drive easily for a little bit to get it “warm”

Just curious what others thought.

If brand new motor, Idle for 5 minutes then warm up at a slow pace, then hammer the guts out of it till it gets 20 or so hours on it.

If broke in, I let them idle while I get my helmet and boots on and then hammer on it.
