I was just curious if there was a wrong way of warming up the engine.

I tend to yank the choke all the way up at start up and was wondering if that does engine damage due to all of the oil not in the pistons.

Is it bad to have the bike warmed up a bit a half choke at 2,500 and rev to 4k here and there?

Tell me of how you warm up your ninjette and how do you know when it is fully warmed up? I kinda check by rpms being steady at 1,500 and check the exhaust air to see if it is warm then I am off.

Is it also normal for gears not to go down sometimes? When I am coming to a red light, sometimes the I cannot go down the gears and the lever just bounces back up, my solution has been to hold down the lever and release the clutch a bit until it drops down and repeat till im back down to 1st gear again.

And another thing that happens I recently noticed was that from time to time the rpm needle inbetween shifting goes haywire and twitches, does this happen to anyone else? I do not think there is a solution for that, or is there?

Thank you for reading and input you guys may have.
