If you do, running it up to ‘temperature’ isn’t quite all there is. Wherever the oil circulates has to be exercised, that is, the clutch and each gear up and down. This requires at least a rear stand. Simply warming the motor up can cause sticky or stuck clutch plates. Plus, running the revs up after changing gears ’exercises’ any secondary injectors or carb circuits, remember carbs?I sure do. I used to have a dozen! Some have idle circuits and some have WOT circuits. Gotta circulate fuel thru them both. Don’t want it bogging down the next time you take it out. I also exercise my forks if the bike sits for more than a few weeks. Keeps the seals and wipers lubricated. Just grab the brake and bounce a few times.
OMG. I spent a season as a “tech” at a Honda shop years ago. Some of the carburetors I opened up in the spring where clogged up worse than their mouse nest air boxes.
One insurance claim I had, the snow bird Cadillac owners came back to find that an industrious rodent had packed the air box with dog food.
