You shift when you feel it's right. Do this several times through the gears then look at your tach where your at. Shift to the sound and feel of the bike, not what you think it should be at on the tach.you will now know where you like it. Obviously don't lugg the motor and on the other spectrum you will know if your too high. Shifting is all about the feel, you should be able to determine this, nobody can tell you what's exactly right or wrong.Yes, when you hit the rev limiter you will know you are out of power.

Just to add to what both Ulvetanna and uscgmac have already said, you will learn how to "feel" that the upper range of a gear is coming on as the engine rpm's keep rising and approach the redline. As you approach the redline, the actual rate of increasing speed (that is, the rate of acceleration) will begin to level off and the engine will feel as if it can no longer build much more speed - that's when you know it's time to shift to the next higher gear, thereby allowing the engine rpm's to drop so that the engine can again have efficient power for building speed in the next gear up.
