Do you warm up the motorcycle or just turn the key and go?

I do warm up my motorcycle before riding. It is actually recommended to warm up the motorcycles for at least 2 minutes. Just like we warm up before exercise or gym to keep our body active and rev up our cardiovascular system, we need to warm up our bikes too for encouraging a good circulation of the oil and expansion of the piston.

Warming up in the cold weather is compulsory because every time I don't do that the engine of the bike does not work perfectly and maybe it can be affected.

My bike is old and has to be warmed up even in warm weather.

I start it up, roll to the end of the driveway and stop long enough to put my face shield down, and then go.

I have to wait. otherwise i get a 3000 rpm surprise slowing down for the first traffic light with the choke closed! lol. It also has a slight stumble just off idle until it will run without choke.

I was wondering what everyone does regarding letting your bike warm up for a little bit or not.

I tend to turn on the engine and then put on my helmet and gloves. That way I know the oil has had a chance to circulate before riding.

I see several people at work who just turn the key and go. The bike has no chance to get the oil moving before riding away.

What do you do?

Is it bad for the bike to just turn the key and go? Am I wasting time and a small amount of fuel by letting it warm up for a bit?

What's your opinion?

Letting your bike warm up for a minute can be helpful. It gives the oil time to spread through the engine, making it run smoother. Just turning it on while you get ready is a simple way to help keep the bike in good shape!
