Re: Shifting speeds?

Just on the side: at 65 mph in 4th gear, it's at 8,000 rpm. According to Jaime, the redline is at 9,000 rpm (which, then, is at about 73 mph in 4th gear).

So, if you would like to know how your engine sounds when it's 1,000 rpm below redline, open up in 4th gear until you hit 65 mph.

PS bike is stock, 15 teeth front sprocket
