getting the motor up to temp

[rene-didier@xxxxxxxxxxx]

This might start a bit of a flury of activity. I know the answer will be it depends, but a guide line would be great

How long should it take a R1100S motor to come up to temperature as to open the oil cooler valve and let the oil back into the bottom of the motor , so that the level can be read?

 I went for 20 miles, mostly highway, 4,500-6000 rpms, air temp of 38 F, and the oil level is at the bottom of the red circle in the sight glass (bike on center stand). On the side stand, the oil level over the top of the window.
