Warm-Up proceedure?

[LoneWoof_imp]

It's a little vague in the manual. So, what are your warm-up procedures on your CB before you ride off?

 

[Cormanus]

Depends. If I'm in a hurry, start while I finishe gearing up an then launch. Otherwise let it idle a bit longer before heading out. Either way try to ride a little easily until it's warm.

I really don't have one. I have to ride slow getting out of my complex and neighborhood so that is usually 3 - 5 minutes at or below 25 mph and then I get on a 45 mph road. It doesn't really ever freeze here do I don't worry about it.
If I were riding with it below 40° all the time I might let it idle for 4 or 5 minutes, but that would be about it.

 

[Cormanus]

Thanks, Randy. I should have added it's warm where I ride.

I have one mile of sandy (muddy if raining) road to ride from my home out to the pavement. I simply start up and ride out slowly. By the time I reach pavement, I figure it's warmed enough.

 

[the Ferret]

I give it a minute or two at idle and then I too have almost a mile to ride at 25 mph to get out to a main road. After that I ride as normal. Some would say I never ride at above warm up rpms anyway lol

 

[Rocky_imp]

I don't let it warm up that much, but like Randy and ferret, by the time I clear all the stop signs and traffic lights, and get to the edge of town, the engine is plenty warm.

1. Turn engine on
2. Put on helmet and gloves
3. Off I go :biker:

I start it and let it run while I put on my gear (around 2 min or so). I try not to rev over 3k rpm or so for the first 5-10 mins of riding, or until I can tell the oil temp has come up (engine gets slightly louder and you can feel you're shifting through less-viscous oil).

 

[Toddman_imp]

I let mine idle for a couple of minutes.

 

[uscgmac_imp]

Turn it on, put my helmet and gloves on and go ride.

start, then ride out of neighborhood on rear tire. when i reach the main road, I do some burnouts then it is ready.:rofl:

"Turn it on, put my helmet and gloves on and go ride."

Ditto. I also have a briefcase to strap to the rack most mornings, so that's an extra minute or so.

 

[Hondahawkrider_imp]

I do the standard that everyone else does.. Fire it up, gear up then go. Which should be enough time to get oil pressure and for things to circulate. However, i take it easy enough to make sure it's full warmed up, and I have some heat in the tires before I really start to ride it..

Seen to many folks get into trouble by starting out hard with cold tires

 

[0011bc_imp]

Start, Get ready, Rip.

 

[Charlie Bravo_imp]

Yeah, start it, don the gear, ride out of my neighborhood to the boulevard, turn left and head for the beach.

 

[jimgl3_imp]

I crank mine and listen for it to idle down. once it does, I go.

(+1) Although in the colder climate, one can't wait forever. That means sometimes, "big klunk 'n' go". Usually by the first major intersection the engine block is toasty warm, and idle is down.

 

[peterbaron]

In warm climate/ON, after starting and before taking off, it takes me up to a minute. By the first stop, idling is normal. Do not follow any specific procedure to warm up my CB.....similar with cars even in winter, synthec oils year round/all vehicles.

 

[alprider]

Warming up the engine is very frowned upon because it is extremely inefficient ......... especially during the ice scraping of the car windows

drive is the only one best way for this
