No way to warm up the bike with the carbs off, other than an external heat source - and I don't think that is the same thing.

Does it matter if I just do it cold?

I hate to buy a tool I'm only going to use once or twice, so I'm going to look into borrowing what I need for a leakdown test.

  Just curious, and kind of hoping I don't have to do it again because I've already pulled the carbs and would have to put them back on to do the warm up right.
With the carbs removed,wouldnt that be the same as WOT?
Also looks like you did the test with the engine warm.

Before you pull the head,do a leakdown test to check the valves.
