I have a nice desolate stretch of flat, straight, deserted, divided highway just up the road from my house. I'll sit and warm my bike up close to, if not at the normal running temp on the gauge before I pull out of the driveway. I have about a mile and a half of slow residential cruising till I get to the freeway. By that time the temp gauge is as high as it gets under normal running. I've always figured its warm enough for fun and will sometimes get on the highway and run through the gears, shifting at about 10000 rpms right up to top speed. It doesn't say anywhere in the manuals how much to warm it up before you get on it hard.
Just wondering how you guys do it, and whats too little or enough? I run Mobil full syn bike oil. Just want to get my engine to last as long as I can ;-)
