Now I wish the weather wasn't so rainy as I think I shift well before that... Maybe that could be why so clunky a shift, a high rpm shift?
I could be wrong though.. Hard to tell when you are rained out...

3000 rpm isn't a high rpm shift at all. It's not even half-way. The redline is 8500rpm. It's not a car.
Has anyone noticed, when clutch-less up-shifting, that the gear shifter will hang, and you can't up shift again unless you put reverse load on the transmission (i.e. get off the gas)? Mine does this often enough to be annoying. I forget if it does it during high-rpm shifts, or just randomly, but I'm thinking the former.

I was not saying that it was a high shift by far as I have shifted at 4000 rpm's myself. As it also doesn't say that you have to wait until you get near or to redline to shift either. We all shift at different points.
But normally I don't think I break 3000 rpms when I shift when driving in the city. If anything I just barely get to 3000 then I am already shifted.
Like I said though, need some dry weather to get out and check out how I shift and at what RPM I am shifting at. This 5th day straight of rain is for the birds. The second wettest April on record if we have not broke it with todays rainfall.
guess it is time for me to leave this shifting thread alone and go back to the oil threads. Personally my bike is not a clunky or noisy shifter at any RPM or speed. It does have the typical Neutral to 1st clunk or noise but that is all. I think I hear the 30 weight oil debate calling. this thread is getting above my head.

Just wait for some dry weather, get out and give it the beans.
Mine's done 575 miles. Yesterday I redlined it trying to get away from a tailgating git driving a Works Mini Cooper S.

I have given it the beans but no where near redline. Don't have plans on pushing to redline as the bike for me pulls away without needing to redline. I am over 1000 miles on my bike. I just don't see the point in trying to ride to the redline.
Like I said back to the oil threads I go..

No point unless you're in the mood to accelerate as quickly as possible. Even then, dyno charts show power peaking at around 7300 rpm, so there's no point in going much beyond that.
