Warming up
Hello,I'm just wondering the correct warm up procedure for a xt660x before riding,do you leave idling for a couple of minutes then gentle riding for a few more minutes? Any help appreciated
|
The only bikes I have ever bothered warming up have been 2 strokes. Otherwise I just get on, start it, in gear and ride it.

I start my bike up then wheel it out of the garage, push the door remote, pull the clutch in, when the door hits the grounds put it into gear & I ride off.
No need to warm motors up these days, just don't flog it until the motor is at running temp. |
Personally I start my moto,put my kit on and ride....there'll be at least some temperature in it before riding....
Why not for all the fuel it uses?....IMO it just makes sense ... :) |

Fire up bike. Put on gloves which takes about 30 seconds. Ride about 20 yards to main road in 1st. Ride first mile or so using probably not more than 2/3 throttle & speed around 60mph. It doesn't seem right thrashing a bike for the first 2 or 3 miles, although I hear what Kev is saying....

I wheel out of the garage fire up helmet on then Ride like i stole it.:kneel:
|
Take my big chain off, roll to end of my drive, turn the key, fire the beast up & we are away, sometimes on one wheel:occasion14::headbang:

You need to be gentle until the engine is warm so I start up and ride off, just keeping revs and engine load to a minimum for the first 10 minutes or so, and then gradually speeding up....
