For my 2 strokes I ride them easy until warm and then as normal thereafter..never had any problems.

(Same idea as buying a new chainsaw..you're obliged to use it once new and warm at full revs)

Just my opinion over 40yrs of riding with no problems.....you'll no doubt find differing opinions on this subject.
