Default Engine Warm-up Time?
How long do you fellows usually let your Dyna warm-up before riding? Let's say in the 30 to 50 degree weather and in the 70 to 90 degree weather. Thanks.

As long as it takes me to back it out of the garage and turn it around.

I do take it easy down to the first stop.

Best way to warm up an engine is to ride it. I start it up and ride away.

I start it up and go without any real throttle cracking for the first mile.

About 15-30 seconds, just like the dyna book says. But I warm longer and then go slow speeds for first mile or so in cold weather.

Cold weather - Jacket, Chaps, Gloves, ect. = longer

Warm weather - Helmet, gloves - ride.
