Do not start the bike, if you're not riding it. 99% of wear is from cold start.

Starting it during the winter is the worst thing you can do to your bike.

ok, point's taken.

if the bike was being ridden daily, it would be started every day and conversely the wear would be worse..? or is it because the bike is sitting for a time, some of the oil drains to the bottom..?
As above if a bike is being ridden through winter would your statement still apply? or again are you saying this in the context of a cold engine thats been sat for a long time with the above oil drain but in addition the oild is more viscus etc..?
