The way I do it on my YZ250 is:
1. Start it and warm it up with minimal revving until the radiators are hot to the touch, then kill the engine. Let it cool for one hour.
2. Start it and warm it up once again, until the rads are hot to the touch, then ride it for 15 mins at 1/4 throttle; kill the engine. Let it cool for an hour.
3 Ride it for 15 mins at 1/2 throttle, kill the engine when done. Let it cool for an hour.
4. Ride it for 15 mins at 3/4 throttle, kill the engine when done. Let it cool for an hour.
5. Then finally, ride it for 15 mins WFO, or as much throttle as you can give it; kill the engine. Let it cool for an hour.
After all of this, I still ride it at about 1/2 throttle for a ride or two, and then it's ready to race.
