So it should be ok to ride at about 4,000-5,000 rpms?

I normally ride around at 6 or 7k. Just under the power band in case I need it! But like someone else said, 5k is rather low (compared to the red line number on our bikes) so don't be afraid to ride a little higher on the tach.

You're damned right it's OK to ride at 5k rpms!! Well that is until your cam chain tensioner starts going bad and the chain rattling begins at 5,000! Sorry, that's another thread!!

If I ride at 7000RPM's with my exhaust, it is litterally screaming at me. From 7000-9000 RPM's is the loudest part of the RPM range for my bike.
Kind of ear peircing.
