my bike redlines at 12thousand revs i think... whats the optimum Riding Revs and Gear Changing revs do you guys think??

Cheers

lol, um, when you need it? Cruising at the limit, commuting? Top gear. Need acceleration? Downshift 3 or 4 gears till your tach is above 8K and give 'er some stick!

That's how I ride anyway. I also like shifting - I feel like I'm constantly engaging the bike.... Prolly not what you were looking for, but I'm sure others will give other viewpoints as well.

i think if your riding hard, best time to chage gear is about 11-11500 revs just before it hits the limiter,because at 12000 the power dies off a bit

I'm like spooph! I like shifting.

My bike lived in the 9k-11k range.. I shifted once the bike stopped accelerating fast enough or revs dropped below 9k

easy as then..i dont ride mine over 8-9ish brand new bike you know didnt wanna ride it to hard and ichange about 9k too

lol, I think you mis-read that weeman, if I'm reading your post correctly. Felix's bike rarely went UNDER 9K....

He also didn't break it in according to the factory, and ran synthetic..... He blew up the bottom-end at like 18K or something?

I might get banned for that... Oh well, just thought I'd paint the full picture.

Hahaha screw you hippy!

Latent fault, even Kawasaki said it must have been. My bike did have a hard, hard life, but I still swear by my methods
