Hi good people and those who try,should I warm my motor up before riding or is it safe to use the choke and ride while it is cold,yendorrodney88
 
What kills two strokes is heat. Gas and oil cool them down. I never let mine idle to warm up but I take it easy on them for a few blocks before I open it up.
 
i agree. idling it will just waste your fuel, and irritate whoever has to listen to it or smell it..:)

just get on it and go.
 
I always warm mine up. Then again mine runs horrible when cold. Hot she screams and revs up like no other, and even changes tone to a nice two stroke dirt bikey sound (factory exhaust drilled out). I dont know, I just know what she likes. Listen to the women...I mean motor. It will tell you what she likes.
 
Point to remember- Cold seizure is when you run a two stroke too hard without warming it up enough. The piston expands faster (usually at the skirt) than the cylinder. Just be sure to take it easy for a couple of blocks before you pour on the coal.
 
one thing i just noticed is me and Venice are from Southern California, and hammond egger is from Tucson, arizona.

a "cold" day for us is 50 degrees. the majority of the time we have warm weather, so our engines don't need a prolonged warming up period.

if your bike sits in a cold garage in freezing cold weather, it might be a good idea to let 'er warm up.

but it should still only take a minute or so.
