Gear Changes

Post by Flat_Matt »

Just wondering what RPM everyone changes their gears at??

i used to change around 3k - 3.5k but i was sick of being so slow at the lights :P and now i change around 4k - 5k

we are talking normal gearing in 2H on a flat surface...just interested to see the responses

1.3L motor hits max torque at around 3100 - 3400rpm... so around this would be the best gear change area... well, i reckon =)

Cluffy, you cant be running a standard carby on that 1ltr. I cant get mine pass 6000rpm. I change at 5000rpm, that drops the rev's back to about 3200rpm after the gear change. Im running 30" tyres.

Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.
