Welcome!
Thanks, I have the owners manual, and have always had both on previous bikes will get the service manual soonCongrats on becoming an LPC! Sweet bike too.
Search the Gen 3 forum and download the service manual to your computer (it’s too Big to be off any use on a phone). When people ask questions it’s the first place I look.
"Do LPC's ever do pro bono? Why can't I obey posted speed limits when riding a Gen 2 Hayabusa?? Troubled minds (and a couple of my relatives who do NOT ride) want to know." -The free answer: 'Risk vs Reward' until the risk of speed limits (i.e. the consequences of ignoring them; in your own judgment) outweigh the rewards of speeding, then you will keep riding how you ride. No one can / will change you, only you have that power/responsibility. Ride free, ride safe, and live to ride another day! -Michael Mason M.Ed. LPC, NCC.Welcome to the oRg and congrats on the new bike!
Your 2nd question raises a question I'll post here. The Gen 2 has 2 pairs of injectors with the 2nd pair only marginally introducing fuel until around 5500 rpm when all 4 injectors are active. Wondering if the Gen 3 is configured the same. My guess is they are the same. @smithabusa, perhaps??
I raise this as it mildly relates to your 2nd question re: shifting.

Happy riding

My brother from another mother! You get it and I agree! Any snoob can twist the throttle and rocket in a straight, I am chasing the skill of the perfect apex! I have attached a picture of a typical ride for me.Welcome!
(I have not yet received mine as I wait for some extras to be added but it is in the same color) Although I do want couple and acceleration, too high a speed is a factor of stress for me, and in Germany I can anyway achieve as much as I want while being on no-limits motorways...
What I value in riding are low-speed manoeuvers, tight corners/u-turns and complete mastering of the physics involved.
Speeding through a straight line does not present any serious skill-challenges apart from high fuel consumption and life-menacing risks.
But when a moron does tail-gate me (and they are too many), then, oh yes, I will certainly speed for my safety.
