Warming up a bike

The general guidance for Evo riders is ride easy until the cylinders are too hot to touch. I don't pay as close attention to the temperature of my Twin Cam as I did with my Evo, but I will put my hand near the cylinders once in a while to check. Of course my Evo wasn't fuel injected, so the idle was never a good indicator of a warmed engine.

1. A cold engine is experiencing the worst, most accelerated wear.
2. You should warm up your engine oil as quickly as possible, without damaging anything.
3. The quickest way to warm up an engine, without damaging anything, is to drive it slowly for the first few minutes.
4. A fuel injected engine should be started and then run long enough to get the oil pressure up, and to make sure the oil is fully circulating inside the motor.
5. 30 seconds is more than enough.
6. Then ride it gently, and not at high rpm, for the next few minutes.
Good to go.
