If it starts and idles fine without it then no you don't need it.
However if it stumbles with a blip of the throttle then yes it needs to warm up a bit.

Get your helmet on
Quote:3. How do I know when is ready to ride?
when your helmet is on, then take it easy for a few miles
Quote:4. How long should I ride it.
As long as you want or the tank is empty, then refill, repeat.
Quote:The bike is not register yet, it might take me a week or two to get to the DMV and do all the paper work plus insurance. In the mean time I don't want it just sitting there.
You buy a car, you drive it home while the paper work goes thru the mill.
No one expects you to park it and the registration from the prior owner is still valid. Key issue is to get insurance, least it is in my state.
If you weren't told anything about the bike, like when was the last oil change... I'd change it. Not that it's gonna suddenly seize up on you, but if you intend to keep it, then maintain it. Know when the starting point is and do it. oil, filters, etc.
