ORIGINAL: vertigo14

How to warm up a carbed bike:

1. Pull Choke Out all the way.
2. Turn Bike on (starter/kick start)
3. Wait a half min or so
4. Push Choke half way back in
5. Wait 1-5minutes untill Bike's Cylinders are warm to the palm of your hand
6. Push Choke back in from half way.
7. Go Ride Somewhere

It might be how "you" warm a carbed bike but not how "to" warm a carbed bike.
