Guest mk47 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 mine usually takes atleast 5-10 mins to reach half way,, have you checked coolant/oil levels etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Mine only takes maybe 4 minutes to get warm, depending on how cold the weather is. Probably 4 on a warmi(ish) day and 6 on a cold day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 It does rise very quickly. The engine cannnot be warmed up fully, I don't start using excessive throttle at this stage. That's primarily why I fitted an oil temp gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRASUZUKI Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My stock gauge shows 'normal' after a couple of minutes driving. At this point my aftermarket gauge shows 40degC (sensor in top hose). I think the stock gauge is calibrated to show 'normal' over a wide range of temperature. Oil temp reaches 50degC after about 5 mins driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
