Secondly, as far as shifting speeds, I am pretty much good. However I did read in another posting that riding at 65mph in fourth gear was acceptable. Is that correct? I can see downshifting to pick up more speed or for an incline, but for crusing? Also the kill switch, should this just be left on at all times, or should I use it for normal operations. I thought it was for emergency use?

60 to 65 is the comfort zone.4th would be fine for passing or a hill,I would no want to stay there very long as you are getting close to redline.I never use the "kill switch" to shut the bike off.You can forget to shut your key off and kill the battery.I see people doing this all the time:shut the kill switch off while coasting to a stop,and sit there talking with the key on.
