What's the proper warm up procedure for the FZ6R? In the owners manual for my cars, it recommends not to let the engine idle to warm up. Instead, you're supposed to drive off at low speeds and keep the engine speeds relatively low (I generally don't exceed 3K RPM out of a redline of 7K-8K) until the oil gets up to temperature, which takes around 10 minutes or so. The rationale for doing this is that it warms up the car much more quickly than just letting it idle, and it warm up the operating fluids in the transmission and differential in addition to the engine oil if the car is in gear and driving.
Is there a similar RPM limit advised for bikes since the RPM limit is much higher? What do you guys see as a typical coolant temperature reading when the bike has gotten up to operating temperature? At what point is it safe to go to redline?
