Something odd in the owners manual

[richo1706_imp]

In the May 2013 issue of Motorcyclist magazine there is an article titled "Break-In Basics" by Jerry Smith.

One paragraph says, "First, go to the page in the owner's manual that lists recommended shift points in terms of vehicle speed. Now tear out that page and throw it away. Many manuals recommend ridiculously low shift points. If you constantly shift into second gear at 15 MPH, for example, start saving up for a bottom-end overhaul; low rpm plus the resulting low oil pressure equals high bearing load. Use the tach for shift points, not the speedo"

Good one, Popgun...I was going to cite the same article but you beat me to it.
