How long until riding off?

When you start your bike how long do you wait warming up the engine until you ride off? I usually give it a few seconds to circulate the oil fully then ride off, taking it very easy the first few miles.

I'll fire mine up back it out of the Garage , lock that up and it's good to go. I have to go through an alley then up a very narrow side street by then it's time to crack her open and get the dust out.

About as long as it takes to put my gloves on. Then I take it easy for a few blocks before easing into it.

Before the starter quits turning I jam it in gear and stomp on it.

Fuel injected bikes dont need a warm up like carbureted bikes do.

Just start and go

I usually pull my bike out of the garage, fire it up and rev the engine for 20 -30 minutes before I turn it off and put it back in the garage. My neighbors love me!

I have an EVO, so I warm it up till the rocker boxes are starting to get warm. Then ride it easy for the first couple of miles. No leaks at 36,000 miles.

No need to warm up my normally aspperated engine. Enrichner full for start, push in half way and git with it. After about a half mile, push it all the way in and haul ***.
