Reasons You Should NEVER Warm Your Engine Up

[@gosertube]

I just let my engine run for about a min, enough to hear the engine stabilize then I’m out! Very interesting though

Yes, warm your engine up! But while driving not idling! Drive leisurely until your oil is up to around 60°C.... and then let it rip!! But that bad habit of letting your engine idle to "warm it up" is just a murican thing! Here in Germany no one dose that, even with carbureted engines. You simply start your engine, put your Helmet on, drive off with the chocke engeged, forget about it until your bike runs like shitt, open the chocke and keep riding.

The problem is you can't stop yourself from ripping it. Lol

cheers bud getting a carbed bandit in 9 days that was helpful@lstripel

[@martin09091989]

@lstripel Yea, shure, but who on earth reads a manuel? 😅 60°C oil temp is a good fist rule for every combustion engine, that means every component all the way to the bottom is at least at this temp and most oils optimal operation windows beginning at this temperature. Water temp is a bad indicator at warmup. Your oil, engine Block and rotating assembly could be much to cold even if your water is already up to temp.

[@martin09091989]

@lstripel I implied that because most vehicles just have a water temperature gage. And if you say you have to check your manual then ther are all the different temperatures, but the only one you can realy check while driving is water, so that suggests if the water is at operation temp it's good. Of cause you can't realy check oil temp if you don't have a gage for it, but if you tell people that, you have a higher chance of them thinking twice what this means. I suggest stopping just after water is at temp and touch your lower engine Block. If you can touch it with bear hands for more then a few seconds.... It's less then 50-60°C. 😉 Especially in cold climate it can take a realy long time for the oil to get warm!

oil needs to be 60c if you want it to lube perfectly

5:42 Pretty much sums it. Give it a minute so everything gets oiled up while putting on helmet, gloves, music, etc and get going slowly. If it's very cold give it another minute or two until the water temp moves. While cold be gentle on the throttle and be gentle on gear changes (clutch release). Increase load incrementally to be sure everything is fine before WOT. Give it a chance to light up the check engine or break at 10% throttle increments instead of going directly to 100%. Also don't just look at water temp. The easiest way to tell if it's ready is to touch the casing at a light. This also applies after stopping to grab a bite to eat or whatever. Don't go WOT after it's been off for 30 minutes. It'll get back up to temp and lubricated way quicker but give it that minute. Clickbaity title but I get the grind so thanks for not advising people to fuck their shit up.

Don't gun a cold engine.

This is a high quality channel! Can’t believe it hasn’t already blown up. Thank you for the content and the entertaining pacing and jokes.

[@immanuel_gl99]

No joke, the quality of your videos is definitely on par with some of the bigger youtubers. Keep on the the good work, i hope you will eventually get there!

[@JJB34T5]

Really been enjoying watching the energy and style of your videos, keep up the good work!

[@moreboostmoreproblems]

Thank you! 🙏

Even with carbureted motorcycles, I never had the patience for them to warm up. I would use the choke as the throttle for the first half mile or so.

[@Mattschindig]

1st point of thermal expansion is one of the most important reasons of warming up a engine. When you start moving the air is going to start cooling down your engine and when you "think" your engine is warmed up so you can start having fun, you probably aren't quite ready yet. Let it warm up so the ecu can run its diagnotics tests. Draining engine oil when hot is so it can flow freely out of the engine. Hot engine oil can flow better. Its not going to be in the danger zone when warming up a engine. I change out engine oil in my Gsxr 1K-R 2500-3000 miles as well as my C5 Z06 and every 5k miles on my 06 Tundra. Bike/Car are going to see more engine abuse. I've had over 10 motorcycles putting over 55k miles on each one and haven't had any issues other than issues I caused when I first started wrenching and pulling engines. People say well race teams just start them up and haul ass and there are reason's for that and also that those engines are built a lot stronger, but most importantly they rebuild them every day to every other day when in season.

Very interesting. Subbed on 1,56k. I bet I'll return to those comment when u are well over 200k+ good luck :)

[@moreboostmoreproblems]

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it!

[@harshanon]

Great video quality man 👍🏻

[@eneacartek7263]

it's incredible you're still under 2k subs, these are very well made videos... also perfectly agree that the engine isn't the only thing that need to warm up, but i found out the hard way

[@Poorlybobsdad]

What’s the nice grey bike? Nc30?

[@moreboostmoreproblems]

Oui, Tyga fairing kit! Thank you!

[@Jesus0418]

Does the same apply to cars?

[@folerx]

at some rpm oil have full pressure. on bike this at early stage, 4000rpm+-. you just need to go ride, oil build pressure and your bike never will have any problem. warming up at idle is worst thing to do. no oil pressure.
