How long to warm up Mt-10?

With synthetic oil a couple minutes is more than enough to get the innards coated. These bikes have a cooling system in them, they can idle all day if you choose.

I had been letting it warm up for like 3-5 minutes before riding. But its only KIND OF cold in the mornings. Hot the rest of the day here.
So, this bike is okay idling in say? drive through? Yes i went to starbucks on my bike. That was dumb because they didnt have cup holders so i had to come back in a car lol.
I had been turning off the engine during these times so as to not overheat the motorcycle(NEVER in traffic).

I hop on the bike after all my stuff is on, fire it up, and ride away. By the time I hit the freeway, I do whatever.

I don’t let mine idle very long because it’s loud.

Coolant and oil do not warm up at the same rate at all. Oil takes much longer. I have a Focus ST and a Cobb Accessport that shows me a lot of info about the engine. Coolant temp oil temp AFR boost pressure charged air temp etc. Even on a hot day where it’s 90* outside my coolant will be at 190* in just a couple of minutes but the oil is still around 100*.

The oil getting to temp is way more important before you start hammering the engine because the oil is thinner until it reaches operating temperature. What I do is let the bike warm up to about 150-160 on the temp gauge then take it easy for about 5-10 minutes of in town riding. On a warm day that’s plenty. Now if it’s like 40* outside it’ can take 15 minutes or more.

Engine oil is designed to get thicker as it heats up that’s what the 10w40 means. It’s 10 weight or there about when cold so it can still flow but increases viscosity to 40 weight at operating temperature which is generally around 120* or more.

Hope this helps.

I don't know why no one mentioned that while the bike is warming up it will be a good time to check over the bike from headlight to taillight and it usually takes about 2 minutes . To me it's better to find out if there is a problem with the bike be it at home than on the road.

In regular weather, almost immediately. Modern engines are designed for immediate use. The Oil pump will immediately start to circulate oil and with the relatively small and compact motorcycle engines, it will only be a few seconds for the oil to circulate. You should go easy on the engine for the first 2 minutes as the oil heats up and the viscosity gets better with higher oil temp.

In colder weather, you may want to wait a little longer, as oil viscosity will be poorer.

AT MOST in regular weather, I'd say 15 seconds. With a good 2 minutes before you start hammering on it.

But if you occasionally start it up and take off in normal weather, nothing to loose sleep over.

Yes they can

I wait for the temp gauge to change from “low” to a temp reading then it’s good to go. Shouldn’t take more than a minute. Within a couple minutes after that oil temp is fine to hammer on it. 
If you start it and immediately head off it’s gonna run like ass because the fueling is still super rich. You atleast need to wait for the idle to settle down. 

I don’t know what temp it opens up at but I doubt it’s lower than 180*

No bikes can not idle all day. These have a high performance engine with a 12/1 compression ratio and a 1,200rpm idle. That’s a bad idea to let one of these, or any bike sit idling for more than absolutely necessary.

Anyone here into drag racing? There’s a tactic used by scunmy people especially in illicit drag racing called “burning down” basically how it works is you take your time staging causing your opponent to be sitting idling longer and either getting them to over heat or run like crap.

Picture a turbo car vs a nitrous car. The turbo, especially if it’s a huge engine is going to build tons of heat and cool way slower vs the nitrous since as soon as you hit the spray it cools the cylinders almost instantly.

Naturally aspirated, turbo, and supercharged vehicles hate heat and heat soak quickly. That can cause knock really easily even at idle.
