Engine warm up temperature

[Redneck_indy]

I know it is important to make sure you give your engine time to warm up. But at what temperature is good to be considered warmed up? What temperature should I wait until before I take off too ride?

5 minutes. After that don't get on it hard for about another 5. After that give er.

I own an Axys with a temperature read out.

I always lift the track and spin to warm the belt, & track.

The temp rises from ambient to about 130 degF, and will hold.

This is what I use, as the temp "warmed up"

I own two Yamaha 4S' and have digi readout's on both. I'll let them idle to about 130F then go.

I have an AXYS and just like my pro r's before it when she says 100 I go. Take it easy for the first 5 minutes or so. AXYS warms up way faster than pro r did.

normal operating temp is 4 bars on my 16 600 etec, was also the same on my 15. I wait until 2 bars. I think I finally figured out how to get temp readout on the digital display, will see what the actual temp is at 2/4 bars.
