Now that you mention it, I have never used Amzoil and I have never had an engine fail due to lubricants.

I knew it took a while for oil to reach the heads, but I did not know it took that long. Good to know.

Depends on the time of day really. In the middle of the night when it's the coldest outside I'll give it a good 5 or 6 minutes. I also will throw in a few throttle barks every 30 secs or so to help it warm up faster.

I fire it up, and ride away in 30-60 seconds on a cold start, immediately on a hot start.
On a cold start, I take it easy for 5-10 minutes after riding to get the oil up to temp before WOT
