O.K., try this......... keep an eye on the speedo....... You're riding along quite happily when you notice your speed is dropping. You give it a bit more throttle & not much happens.... This is when you need to change down.

You give it more throttle & you speed up. You get to the point when you haven't any throttle left, but it still wants to go. This is when you need to change up.

I know this is really basic, but it's just a way of trying to get the VERY basics across. :2tup:
