okay guys i bough a new bike but the owners manual was not in the back seat so they have to re order it . but untill i get it i have a few questions what are the rpms that is a comfortable rev for the bike since it goes up to 15.5 redline. i mean like at what revs should it be for just cruisin around . 2nd question is what is the oil temp suppose to read normally again have no owners man for a couple days

 

Well i have an 04,i can tell you from experience with the 04. If you wanna get good gas mileage and keep it easy on ure bike,keep it under 8k. Thats where your secondary injectors come in.

And i was told to wait atleast till 140 degrees before riding the bike, just better for the bike. and i think automatic shutoff is at 240 or 245 degrees, but dont be worried about getting it to even 225 in hot weather and traffic. These bike get hot very quickly,i thought something was wrong iwth mynr b\c it would always be up past 215-220. but bike mechanic told me its all good,they just get that hot.

 

The comfortable rev would be whatever rev you're comfortable cruising at. There's no hard and fast rule. Everyone rides different.

 

okay thanks yeah that was my worry cause it starts out at 180 ish but then i notice that it climbs up to around 220 or so and didnt know if that was normal or not. ill keep it under 8 till i break it in fully thanks again guys

 

220 is about normal. when i'm in traffic it goes to around 225. with water wetter it dropped down a lot faster. if i'm moving, i'm around 180. i live by the beach though so it's not as hot as inland.

 

I thought the secondary injectors kicked in around 6? hmmmmmmm....... mines geared up but I am a "low-rev" cruising guy, so I often leave it in 5th/6th when slowing from a 65-75 mph zone to say, a 35 mph zone. I like to run mine around the 4 grand range, untill im gettin on it or racing.... then its whatever gear it'll let me go in while having a few revs left :P
