Warming up of Engine

[davidpoh80]

Smokers knows best for warming up... Hehe everytime before moving off light one stick start engine.... warming up period around 4mins... then upon reaching after reaching cooling down with bike oso another 4mns.. hehe thats why my bike is my BEST smoking buddy !! Never ever complain haha..

[LordDraco]

Mmm ..so many different story.

 

From I I know, warming up is for kicking up your oil in the stump to lubee your engine properly. Especially bike that park there for more than 6 hours or few days .. the lube at the engine tends to thin off.

 

For me .. I will let it run a bit or try not to rev above 2k for at least a min in the morning. I will just start and go if I had already use the bike just a few hour ago.

I do produce facts and to prove correct or so is another issue and u say I am silly. Thanks, but u dont think I am correct, can u produce proof that I am wrong.

Or rather u believe in those myth of some biking theory? Like white ligth(unless HID)brighter or using headlight switch to prolong batt life.

If I can produce fact or professional explainations on that issue, will u choose to believe mi?

I do have an article that li4 send mi so I will put up here. Unless u can shows something that overturn the theory if not by saying someone produce facts and trying to clear the misundertanding, u comment on the facts is silly, Dont u think it reflect badly on urself?

like i said, to each his own, u wanna believe or not or i wanna believe or not its our own problem. i didnt say wat u said is bullsh!t. pls read carefully & not be so sensitive.

 

an article is an article, pple can still choose to believe or not mah, in the same way, u can choose to believe wat i said mah, we dnt even know where ur article came from. if i wanna be lame & said tht wat i comment was from an article & go setup a website jus to prove myself, will u believe me? no need to tok in tis kind of tone one, u r the one who's reflecting badly on urself.

[hachi]

U did comment that my point are silly dont u?

What I do is trying to clear the misconcercept about engine warming. When I try to debate a point I would post things or articles that I had research or at least proof that my point is correct.

To overturn ones theory u got to show proof or logical articles or fact that overturn the misconconception.

A person decision are based on facts and what he think he is right. Now I got the point of proofing u r misunderstanding the warming up of engine in our climate, and by doing this u r doing more harm to ur engine. Which in this case u r trying to protect or prolong its life?

 

By doing so I am reflecting badly on myself, well i guess so.....I am sorry I guess there are always people who cant keep an open mind that someone had proof a point that was wrong he believed is correct for many years.

 

Huh who is reflecting badly on himself the bikers could decide on their mind....Thank you for reading.

I feel there is no need for getting worked up over such issue. Unless controlled testing is done, no one can honestly tell you for sure that its the fact. What you can get, is testimonials like from ads of beauty and slimming products.

 

I warm up my bike before moving off. Other than the fact that i smoke, the engine is much smoother after my 2-3 min stationary warming up session. So when i finally move off, i can rev the engine freely and enjoy my ride. If i'm in a hurry, i rev the engine to 2-2.5K rpm while warming up.

[ivant]

Anyway, i hav a qns about the article. The author advocates riding off ASAP. But said that alternatively you can do it standing still while reving the engine to 2-5K rpm and subsequently 5-8K. So can i deduce that the importance is on the rpm and not if you are stationary or moving? So if you are required to stop at junctions just after exiting your car park, do you maintain the 2k rpm while waiting for traffic to clear?

[hachi]

Like the author said that is only for racebike. The only other best way to warm up. Cos u cant have bikse running around the track when the race is about to start while doing final checks and preparation.

SO the best way to warm up is to load the engine but gently.

Many bikers here love their bike and they do it to prolong their engine. My point to clear the misunderstanding of warming.

Oh thanks. That author should explain mah. Add the sentence "second way is not as gd as the first", or maybe imply it subtlety. I cannot read his mind....LOL

 

So should i maintain 2k rpm in the morning at junctions? Since anything less than 2K will rattle the engine.

[hachi]

Just ride normally but gently and in junction let it idle. No need to rev 2k. If u are to concentrate of maintaining 2k rpm when the light turn green, u might get horn from behind cos u r busy looking at the meter and maintain trottle.

Neh, i reckon the article is utter bullshit, u should have just stick to your usual way of warming up the engine. hehehehe

Damn, i was still pondering if its the excess of 2K rpm or drive train load that prevents the engine from rattling... Now u tell me....

[NoobVtec2]

oh my god.. so many different logic. which one is correct? Someone go check with Honda.. whoever manufacture super 4.. ask em.. lol

[kennethy]

i guess this topic is for sharing of experience and information... should not have de-generated into an arguement...

 

just like running in a bike; there are so many saying about... none of us can be really sure, but there is one thing that we all know... so far, no S4 had failed because the do warm up the bike nor not warm up the bike...

 

everyone is a winner.. cheerios...

[Guest bomerman81]

For me i dont think super 4 need to warm up much rite... cause my old bike have to warm up or else it will stall but with super 4 just on the engin wear helmet and move off....

Y some of u guys here dun wan to warm up ur bike huh?Too lazy or in a hurry?

[vincent_1299]

Wear and tear starts the moment the engine is switched on, through the various read-ups i came across, recommendation is not to warm up whether is for 2-stroke, 4-stroke or cars..This is especially so for our hot weather/climate. Whilst in cold countries, vehicles owners are recommended to warm up their engine because engine oil tends to chuke up or solidify literally. Switch off the engine should you need to wait for more than 5 minutes. Leaving your car/bike in idle not only uses up more fuel, it will also increase the wear and tear of the engine. It is a better measure to move off slowly and warm up the engine in the process. Forget about ramming ur rpm to warm up, gp racing do that because they need to get their bikes in smooth running condition in preparation for the race if not the bikes will feel slurgish. The same reason why every morning when u start ur bike and move off is not as responsive/smooth. There is no rite or wrong whether u want to warm up ur bike..warming up is acceptable if u want ur bike to move off smoooothly..but is not recommended as it would warm up itself when u start to move off. Lastly keep to low rpms when moving off that will keep ur bike in good shape.

Sorry for the lengthy post.

Ride Safely.

Hope that helps.

[wallace996]

but usually really got very big difference especially in the morning... warm up the bike it seems more smooth... if dont warm up open throttle like stuck like that.... sorry for language dont know the professional term for it...

[hachi]

Now the point is warming up engine without load causes more tear and wear.

 

And is normal for cold engine to feel a bit suggish.....

[Alex31]

Warming up for 2 to 3 mins is good enough. About the time I put on all my gears.

Too long is definitely no good.

[hilfiger]

Hi guys,

 

Is it true that after starting bike, it is bad to rev up the engine just to quickly warm up the bike? Like when u got no time to let it idle for a few mins and u want to speed off w the bike asap....

[hilfiger]

If after starting bike in morning,

 

Is it bad to rev up the bike just to get it quickly warmed up for smooth riding? Cos sometimes u r late already n u just want to move off fast, thus unable to keep below 3500rpm as suggested...

 

[Tyrian]

use choke..

[kinwei]

Throttle abit also helps.. if you got a themometer install on your bike. You can actually move off ard 50ºC, but keep to 1/4 of your RPM. Then once reach to 70ºC, you can start to ride as per normal. This is how I judge my warm up.

[garycoin]

comm'omn guys.. warm up doesnt mean warm till what temp!! temp is just a guide... acutuallly, is to let the oil flow naturally to all parts of engine before moving off.. cos 80% wear n tear comes during start of bike!!
