Why do you warm up your bike?

kopiosatu SG

Because someone told me to do that...

theoratically, i still don't know why i warm up the bike.

HighwayAngel SG

basically to slowly warm up the oil inside ure engine and oso allows ure pistons and cylinders to expand slowly and evenly if you're having a four stroke engine.

for 2 stroke i dun think there's a need cos i never warm up and nothings happened. But depends on individual. Laughing

No_regret SG

Isnt the same theory goes to 2-stroke just that without the oil part. The piston and block might expand un-uniformly if nv warm up.
But again, diff ppl believes in different theory. In any case, better move off slowly, keeping engine speed low for some time first.

SnailRider SG

Correct, it's applicable for both types of engine. Another difference is 2 stroke engine warms up faster than 4 stroke engine. From what I read, warming up is more important on older engines, because nowadays engines are manufactured with higher precision. So they have less chance of expanding un-uniformly.
Usually in the morning I just let the engine runs idle for about 1 minute, then start moving off slowly.

HighwayAngel SG

it applies to both but i dun think there's a need for 2 stroke, it's not as if we are gonna drag our way out of the carpark to our destination. Anyway i find no problem wif mine old tzr Smile

HighwayAngel SG

agree wif u. i dun even run in for my engine whenever i change a new block and piston too lol Laughing if it gonna jam on u, even at low rev the piston will still jam on u. I think usually bike shop tells pple to run in so that consumer won't return back with a jammed piston. Cos from what i've observe... 2nd hand bike with "new piston" even first hand one.. the piston are raw and untrimed. Nothin will happen to riders who solely ride it for transport but would have a very high chance at jammin the piston for those would love to drag on.

Normally I would start off with the choke on, travell for 1 minute before turning off the choke. If I don’t do that, my bike will experience power loss when the engine is cold.
