  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

ok i have heard a few ideas about letting your bike warm up and how long so lets all chime in with time :pray:
 
If its tuned up nicely, most of the GSs should be warm enough to shut down the enrichener within a minute or two. I start my bike, put my helmet on, gloves, pull out and by the time i hit the stop sign at the end of the road (about a block) i can take it off choke and it will idle on its own nicely. Now, I tend not to rev the bike or spend much time at or above 5k rpm untill i see my temp gauge start to move so i know that the oil is warm and circulating nicely, but thats just me..im paranoid...lol
 
now i dont have a temp gauge but would love to know how to install one!
 
About 3-5 minutes for me.
Start it up, get geared up, back out of the garage and by the time I'm at the light out of my subdivision, a half a mile or so, I'll shut down the choke completely.:)
 
Hi,

My warm-up procedure is similar to Mr. TCK's and Larry D's.

Half choke, neutral, pull the clutch, touch the start button. Adjust the choke so that it idles at 2500 rpm or less while I...

Zip up jacket, put on helmet, pull on gloves, mount up. Adjust choke to idle about 1500 rpm, ride off.

I turn off the choke before I get to the freeway. I leave it on for about a mile because there are a few stop signs and traffic lights before I get to the freeway.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
If it's above 50 degrees out, my 700 is completely off choke after twenty seconds of idling. My 1000G takes a bit longer, perhaps thrity-forty seconds.

If the mixture screws are adjusted correctly, and the jetting and needle positioning is correct, these bikes really should be idling normally within a minute of starting.
