    Just wondering what is the best range to keep the revs while cruising. Atm I shift between 9 and 10 000 and try to keep the revs around the 5500 mark depending on speed. What are peoples thoughts? Thanks in advance

    Sounds about right to me, I have a straight through exhaust so its s bit loud, so I usually shift around 8000 when in town and 12-14 when enjoying myself

    5500 rpm in sixth is around 60kph, i usually sit in 4th at 60 so its revving at around 7-8 usually.

    Get a 15t front sprocket 48rear and you will actually use first gear with a bit of range in it, 100klm = 7500rpm 120=8500
