I bought an 03 Pumpkin 2 weeks ago and already put 800 miles on the bike. I was wondering what is the best RPM range for driving in the lower gears. I seem to upshift too soon and lug the engine when I need a little acceleration. Example. If I'm going 30mph, should I be in 5th gear pulling 2500 rpm or should I go to lower gears. In other words, what is the best RPM range for street driving. 2K, 3K, 4K or higher. I want to balance MPG and wear on the engine verses performance.
