"Pulsing" engine before oil fully warmed. Normal?

Went out for a quick test ride yesterday to check the 14T sprocket improvement.  On the road, doing a constant 40-45 and the oil wasn't registering a temperature yet.  I noticed the engine "pulsing" in a subtle way.  Not crazy, but enough for me to notice the power was rising, then slowing.

Is this "normal" before the oil comes up to temp?  Everything was okay once there was a temperature registered in the oil display.  Just curious.

HA! ... noticed the same thing on my 03 M800 ie ... seems to surge more / more noticabler at lower RPMs

... seems to be normal, I usually let her warm up a bit then go at a medium throttal till things warm up before really given it  ... man I'm talking about the bike ... [moto]
