Speeds for Gears.
I am just curious what gears you guys use at certain speeds (barring special circumstances). I am well aware of the distinct sound of an engine being driven too hard, but I am curious as to what you use. Today I was driving the gz250 extensively and I found that while you can go 30 or so in 3rd it seemed perhaps better in 4th. So for me it ended up.
1st - for the first nudge off of a start 2nd - for a few more seconds, around 15 mph 3rd - 30ish 4th - anywhere from 20-40 while rolling. 5th - engaged it at 45 One thing I did notice is that while 1st especially and sometimes 2nd are jerky sometimes at low speeds you can use 3rd and 4th and pretty low speeds and they are still surprisingly super smooth. Times I thought I would need to down shift even 4th seemed to handle fine. What are your thoughts? Login or Register to Remove Ads |
