Should you warm up your engine in the winter? From oil flow to engine tolerances to proper fuel vaporization, there used to be a lot of legitimate reasons for letting your engine idle and warm up before hitting the road. Today however, most of those reasons don’t apply. We’ll discuss if, when, and why you might need to warm up your bike, and why most modern motorcycles don’t require more than a few seconds of idle time before you click it into gear.
