[quote="diffluere"]On my travels Friday I checked, and yeah, I shift into second going 20mph. The noise is similar to the noise of going about 32 in 2nd gear. I don't have a tach so I have no idea what rpm that is.
I found the "Gearing Commander" site that pbro posted recently (
http://www.gearingcommander.com/) to be useful to me as I learn more about my bike. It says that 20mph in first is about 6500 rpm, 31.4mph in second is about 6500 rpm, and that 65mph in fifth is, again, about 6500 rpm. 75mph is around 7500 rpm.
