Hi guys
Bit of a story here. I was in central London having dinner with my friends, afterwards I returned to my parked park which had been there for about 3 hours, it was a cold evening so when I turned it on it struggled for a few seconds then cut off, no biggy, I simple turned it back on and it started and stayed on fine (obviously revs were low as engine was cold).
I then went to the back of my bike to take my chain off my back wheel, as I knee down on the floor some drunk moron ran over to my bike and rev'd ridiculously too much, he completely redlined it and probably bounced it off the limiter.
Of course I got up to confront the drunken idiot who I told to get lost before I wrapped my chain round his skull (I was very angry at what he had done) after he left I couldn't help but smell a burning smell around my bike, the smell quickly went away and after 10 minutes of just letting the bike tick over on its own without revving it at all I rode home (20 minute journey) and it didn't seem to be performing any differently.
However I'm a bit of a worrier and I care a lot about engine health etc, since riding mopeds at 16 I have always let my bikes warm up before taking them onto any roads where high rpm will be required and I have never redlined a bike in my life. So as you can imagine, my worries right now are all about my bike and any potential damaged the idiot could have done redlining my bike from cold (it was only on for about 20 seconds).
Was wondering what anyone thoughts were?
Sorry for the long story, I just really wanted to get the whole thing across.
Thanks.
