Description
Most riders learned to warm up their bike on a carbureted machine, and back then, the habit was dead right. It's not anymore. In this one I break down exactly what a long cold idle does to a modern fuel-injected engine — washed cylinder walls, fouled plugs, an air-cooled twin overheating at a standstill — straight from Harley, BMW, Honda, and Triumph's own manuals, not internet guesswork. Then I give you the actual thirty-second procedure that protects your engine instead of wearing it out.
If you've ridden for decades and want straight answers with no sales pitch, you're in the right garage. Hit subscribe and I'll see you on the next one.
