for racing , drag purposes :

practice makes a man perfect. thats wat i hv learnt with my wheelies.
u gotta change the gear jus after the rpm where the bike developes peak power.no use over-revving the engine. also try doing power-shifting which basically means dont leave the throttle while shiftin up.this will save u fraction of a sec but is actually helpful.
also as u practice , u will urself come to know when to shift jus by listenin to the sound of the engine.
practice by changin gears at diff rpms. try findin a suitable rpm band in which to change. all da best

the bike will display its max power at the rpm it developes max power.

try not raise too much in the first gear.... coz intailly that will ruin ur engine......

**Bishal Ghimire** · 10-22-2004, 10:09 AM

i have a lot of race around and i normally shift at 7k
but at normal case i shift at 4+k

**speedbuster** · 10-22-2004, 10:11 AM

on my pulsar180...i usually hit 6500-7000rpm...upto 40kmph.
no problem to the engine yet...wont be any problem either..

I think the pick up is a bit slow if I raise the bike to 6500-7000 rpm during the first three gears or probably the first two ! I dont race much, actually i dont race at all, but i wanna feel all the power that my bike can handle ! atleast once in a while ! stupid huh ?

On CBZ 4500 is best settings one should have.

**wolfcannibal** · 10-22-2004, 12:25 PM

i guess when ur bike reaches 7000 rpm in da 1st gear its da best time to change

**ace619** · 10-22-2004, 10:24 PM

what if u dont have a tacho..its all in the feel..and part from that if u are doin the drag on a open road(no one on it)then it is feasible to keep a look at the tacho..or else lots of **** can happen in a fraction of a second..ask sabby/kunal/amit he will explain it perfectly..

pulsar develops peak power @ 8500 rpm for best pickup shift at around 8k.i do tht there are no problems with tht.make sure u bike is proberly run in.

**Bunny** · 10-23-2004, 12:20 AM

for racing purposes , shift around the peak power rpm. for normal usage , i keep the band b/w 3500-4500rpm

For me, it's always the gut feel.

However, if You are really concerned, try getting a shift light on your bike and take away the guess-work. But of-course you'll have to find out the peak-RPM on your bike.

This is what I'm talking about - http://www.mpsracing.com/products/MPS/sl01.asp

Not sure if it is available in India, but it's not rocket science. Any electronics whiz around here??? Maybe you can even make your own.

**redrage** · 10-23-2004, 07:04 AM

for the zma i guess 7k at each gear should do to get the best out...

**sachinontop** · 10-23-2004, 07:10 AM

tachometer ...shift-lites...!
all these gadgets gets the fun out of riding & driving...
just use ur senses & FEEL the engine-vibes in ur veins ...!!

i never looks @ the tacho in my GTX...

so just practice & practice hard...!

**azazelin** · 10-23-2004, 10:04 AM

yeah right ! practice makes man perfect...! Am just a little scared to take the bike to 7k rpm during the first two gears ! it roars so much that i let go of the throttle. gosh !!! i broke my leg once in an accident, now i think twice before reving up...practice, the right word !
