How long do you guys let ur bike warm up? I was having trouble with mine last week at the track and thought maybe it didn't let it warm up enough

I usually fire it up and let it run while I put on my Safety gear (Boots, Chest protector, Helmet aso)
Takes about 3-5 Minutes I guess.
Sometimes I start it and see how it behaves on the throttle and ride 1-2 slow laps.
So many ways to do it.
Honda Manual says 1 minute with cold start.
Rant over. Move along.
Just a guess it may be valves.
The piston is only cooled with a splash or spray of oil and the fuel air mixture.
The cylinder is thick with coolant behind. Both must expand as heat build which it does in the piston very quickly.
To keep wear to a minimum letting both reach temperature is important, the tolerance between the 2 could be much closer but the manufacturer has to keep in mind the guys that fired it up and pin it. A tight tolerance would stick the piston in the bore with the "pin it cold" rider, throwing him into a flying cain16
