Nicky Hayden's Honda getting warmed up

Early morning on The Island and a stroll down pit lane sees the engines of these two 800cc beasts punching through the airwaves, scattering fog and early morning cobwebs. It's a RACING day today, as the MotoGP circus comes to town.

@Aveleyboi it's the rc211v v-5 three facing front two facing rear . i can only assume that the exhaust porting the 3 would produce more smoke .... only thoughts though

porno studio???

[Aveleyboi]

looks like only one side of the 4 cylinder engine is working as only one exhaust is letting off smoke some please tell why that is lol

@MicahLeviClark That's because your bike isn't even remotely like that bike.

Sounds like 200hp my Repsol don't sound like that! lol

@The12Nurse well i meant it cleans the engine allowing oil to circulate smoother and it uses less oil as it would if they full throttled it. and the engine should allready have been set up from qualifying, i just basically said it in the most simplest way possibe haha :)

@PLA17EN without wasting gas? there is combustion so there is gas being consumed actually I think they do this for the engine to be pre warmed let the oil circulate check for malfunctions set the engine gaskets and other stuff...oh and it doesnt clean the engine cause since I said there is combustion on the process combustion deposits will be created....

@The12Nurse because it cleans the insides up without wasting gas or damaging the engine, most efficient way

[The12Nurse]

why do they feather the throttle when warming up?
