I do like most people, fire it up and thrown on the jacket gloves and helmet etc, i ride out from there but i ride it pretty easy until i get 3-5 miles in or about 15 minutes, then i do what i want. Its probably overkill but i like to let things get good and warmed up before getting on it. And that's rare too lol. I had my big yamaha air cooled v twin out yesterday, first time since last october or november. I run 20w50 all year in it so def some thick oil and big engine running situation. I do the same and it runs great. Pretty much my standard for any vehicle whether on 4 wheels or 2. I let it run, not too long or short, go easy in the beginning, then free reign. Dont think you can go wrong like that
