Just out of curiosity ... What rpm's do you cruise at? Whether it be 45-50 or 70+

 

i stay somewhere between 5k-7k rpms. for around town, i usually don't get out of 3rd or 5th gear

 

Unless I'm on Post, I don't like to be under 5k. I always want the RPM's to get out of the way of some dumbass on the road, haha.

 

it's better for the motor too.... the pistons don't have the same inertia at lower rpms, they pivot more doing more damage to the piston, rings, and cylinder wall.

 

Where are you stationed diablaz? Yeah I generally catch myself in between 5-7k. It just feels smoother. I need to get that new exhaust on ASAP though so I can hear it at high speeds. This stock can is so quiet.

 

im with everyone else i just started riding but i stay around 5-7k as well with drivers that i have here in va that dont pay attention its good to be able to kick it up realy fast if i need to

 

Anywhere near military installations will have terrible drivers haha. I know how you feel

 

well, no worries, the new pipe will definitely not be so quiet.

i worked nights and i'd get home around 11pm. i practically idled down my street in the neighborhood at like 2.5k rpms to not **** of the neighbors. but you're keeping your HTEV, which will be a good thing. it'll quiet it up a bit at lower rpms

 

PC3 this friday ... New exhaust when it comes in next week ... This weekend is going to be filled with anxiety haha ... Should just be plug and play right? Take off stock and bolt right on?

 

I'm stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA
