That's a big file - there better be some nakedness in it.

At least she starts and doesn't leak!

I always see guys rev their bikes as soon as they start them. Is this ok to do? shouldn't you let your bike warm up before revving it just like a car?

Why not? Bike engines are not fragile little things... its just like a car engine, with a lot less rotating mass.

Do you start your car in the morning and rev the **** out of it? Or do you let it warm up to a normal opperating temperature so the internal parts in your engine reach the proper clerances and lubricate properly. This is just my personal oppinion, I'm not a mechanic

I commute on the bike every day... i rarely drive.

Regardless, I roll the bike out of the garage, start it, wait for the little oil light go off and start rolling. About 3 minutes later I'm accelerating (usually pretty hard) onto the highway



No problems here. Oil is always clean and it doesnt burn any.

Either way, starting it and reving it with no load isnt really harmful. Maybe if you did it every single day, for several years, you might have some sort of issue but I doubt it.

Its not going to hurt anything.

Your 4 mile daily commute is doing a lot more harm to the engine than starting it and revving it cold with no load on it.

Yeah... that's why the M3 has a redline that moves as the engine warms up.

When the car is moving? Sure... but that wasnt the point here.

It does matter if the car is moving. If you're revving the **** out of an engine when the oil isn't warmed up you risk damage, plain and simple.

You're kidding right?

If the car isnt moving its not under load. There is a HUGE difference.

I actually typed does mistakenly but you interpreted right.

I agree there's a differece but I, as well as others, contend that both are harmful.
