it depends on the work on the machine ie: pistons wiseco pistons need to be warmed up as the r forged not cast and what happens is that if u don't let it warm up it will cold seize that means that the piston warms up faster then the cyclinder and seizes up if they r not aftermarket pistons then i don't see what could happen i notice with my quad when the compression goes down the bike runs like crap intil it warms up the piston expands in the cyclinder and the compression goes up
