AMDifficulty 1/5

For a petrol moped whose manufacturer permits riding gently after starting, is it necessary to idle until normal operating temperature is reached?

Correct answer

No; follow the manufacturer’s instructions and set off gently when permitted.

No. Follow the manufacturer’s procedure and, when it permits setting off, ride gently without placing high demands on a cold engine. Prolonged idling is unnecessary in the stated situation, and revving to warm it faster is not recommended. The procedure may vary with model, carburettor and weather conditions; follow the applicable manufacturer instructions.
