Why not let the engine and oil warm though? I start it and go get and put on the gloves and helmet for a minute or two. There are alot of dissimilar metals that need to expand and the oil flows better at the correct temps. Cold is bad in this case.

I thought letting your bike sit to warm was worse than riding easy as soon as the oil pressure light goes out because it could foul the plugs? Maybe that's just carry over knowledge from my 250? I switched to Rotella T6 a couple weeks ago so the startup weight is more fluid than the 10w-40 Kawi oil.
