RPMs

[DEMMYM]

Alright guys & gals

When just leisurly riding at what RPM do you change gears, Im usually changing at 3000 just curious as to what everyone else is doing.

Also where are you all changing gears when getting really getting on it.

 

[HillbillyTom]

4000 for regular riding. Bike likes to false neutral sometimes with anything less than that. As for getting on it, I shift at pretty much whatever rpm is nessesary to get the job done. No set place, varies with the situation.

that is something i have never paid attention too, i have allways went by the sound of the motor, i need to watch that and see myself where i do shift at

When I get on it it's between 8 and 11..........

The Busa doesn't seem to come to life until you get over 8 or 9......

 

[Mr Bogus]

around 3K for me

 'REDLINE'  

 

[dalynchmob4]

Normally around 4K.... unless it's play time, then maybe 9 - 10K...

 

[b4thenite]

4k while crusing, and by the feel of momentum when attacking.

That's to broad of a question for me.
