4k rpm sweet spot.

[GoldOxide_imp]

I had a nice couple of days on the bike last week. Part of it was a ride on HWY 17 in the Western Catskill Mountains of New York State USA. I don't usually dig the highway too much, but this time there was no air and no traffic. It was dusk. The bike was really humming beautifully. I guess it always does but I could really it enjoy on this ride. 4krpm in 5th gear is about 70-75 MPH for me. That is one fine sweet spot. I hope it stays this way forever because I am racking up the miles.

Happy trails.

...agree, I love 4Krpm in my 6th......

... I think 4K in 5th was even sweeter.

You should re-test that and raise it to 7K.

I hate how buzzy my CB is around 4k-4.5k. I've either gotta go up to 5k and be speeding or slow down to below 4k to keep my fingers from rattling off from the buzziness.

That is correct.

Some Grip Puppies actually help take the edge down.
