Riding in the morning I was wondering how long of ‘normal’ riding does it take for tyres to get warm and grippy?
Some lovely bends close to where I live but I’ve always taken it easy in the belief that my tyres aren’t properly grippy. On the way home though - it’s a different matter.
if in dought … leave it longer … 
there’s no real way of telling on the road , surface temp , tyre pressure and type of type all make a huge differance … ie: racetecs youc an wheelie in the wet , yet rennsports spin up even if the road is cold …on mine they do anyway
and of course the wheelies are always performed on private roads under controlled conditions 
Varies hugely depending on what tires you have and how much accelerating and braking you are doing.
Half an hour :Whistling:
On my 600 I can feel them warm up.
You get off at the lights and fell them???:):P;)
They’re not trees Busa :rolleyes: 
What I meant is on the 600 I can feel them warm up as I ride it, no need to get off and check :w00t:
Damn only takes me 20 minutes to work…best keep it down to 100mph then as they are cold :D:D:D:D
The brand of tyre makes a difference to the time it takes to warm up too. I have Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs and I find they heat up very quickly, after only a couple of miles at a reasonable speed. And yes I have stopped to check the temperature.
6 laps of a “medium sized” roundabout also do a good job after riding for a mile!
