Hiya just wondering what kinda Rev's do you take your NSR to before changing gear (checking to make sure i aint wrecking the nutts of my bike Confused

) I usually change at 6k at low speeds and about 9k when i wana go fast ? i dont know whether i wana take it to 10k+ as the engines do have a tendancy to go BOOOOOOM ! Am i changing at about the right Revs ?

that souns like you are been quite kind to your engine, should last u a long while. power cut off after about 10500 anyway,

its holding it at HIGH rpm that does the damage,

on a similar note

if your going 55-60 following something and you want to overtake what gear would you use? I have no rev counter so I cant see a red line Sad

If its seems like your going to slow to overtake just drop it down a gear and build the speed up again!
