Sometimes I let my bike warm up long enough to stop the compression release from rattling. While it was rattling and the compression would drop, the idle speed would drop down to the point that the bike would quit. I'd rather have it quitting on the sidestand or center stand, so I let it warm up an adequate amount of time to avoid quitting at the next red light!
My bike didn't vibrate enough to knock itself off any stand. I also let my bikes warm up enough to ensure the oil has filled all the required crooks and nannies.
But thanks for the advice. Gee, there must have been something I didn't know in there!
Actually, if it's a cool day they don't warm up enough to get rid of all the crap that should burn out of the oil at temps exceeding 180o. The REs are actually quite cold blooded. Built for India, I assume.
