normally let it tick over for 5 mins. gives you time to nip round and check your lights/indicators/brake lights/tyres etc and check for any leaks....then pootle along for 5 mins before giving it beans
once you get used to it. sitting warming it up you can tell when shes ready to go by the exhaust note its a bit groggy to start with like us in the morning then it clears its throat an your off. about 4 to 5 mins on average then take an easy ride up to around 6000rpm for a further 4 or 5 mins matey

Cheers guys I'll do that, first mornig iv rode it and it's a bit cold at half 5! Do you have to warm them up every time you go out, even if it's been left for an hour in garage then go back out on it?
I would pinned it till it died jus to see how long it lasted. Would of been good vid of proof tht correctly rebuilt dt engines are solid. was gonna get a rebuild n e way : / Maybe next time tho lol
If i'm warming my DRZ up, i usually use baby oil first just so it gets me in the mood, then i light the candles and play a bit of James Brown, and then i'm ready to warm her up
