Warm it up and ride, whatever way works for you.....

Got to tell you guys, every day I start my bike, let it set just long enough to put on my gloves, and then start moving being careful to not rev it to high.
So after reading all this advice, decided maybe to let it sit while I put on all my gear.
So I start it up, let it set and the bike comes off high idle and dies.
Then I must have flooded it, or the float is sticking again and the bike won’t start.
Dang nag it, ended up in the car.
It was kind of embarrassing to be seen in a car.
Started right up after work, so no more listening to you guys;-)

when you start a efi bike it goes into a cold start sequence with elevated rpm's that start cycling down as pre-determined head temps are reached until reaching a normal idol of 950-1050 rpm's . Then it goes into normal operating mode . I sound like I know what I'm talking about huh?
I usually just fire it up and wait until I get at least below 1200 rpm's but like to wait until 1050 . then the bike feels more like normal running conditions to me

Minor correction. I saw several people refer to the warm up period as a temp based function. It is actually a time based function. It does refer to a table for temps, but the operation is time based.
Quote the SE Super Tuner Manual, "When the engine is started the Warmup Enrichment affect “decays”, or diminishes over a set period of time until it reaches zero, or no effect. The “Decay Time” is time-based, not “table-based”."
