dude are you a troll or just honestly have these questions? Read your owners manual, it tells you how to do all this. It tells you how to shift to achieve best mpg. I feel like I'm falling for some prank answering this thread and the other one about gas.

Wow testy newb.
Shift whenever you feel like it. If you want to shift at 3000rpm then do it, as long as you don't feel the engine lugging. I shift at 4000rpm all the time.

As long as your Tach dosn`t see Red you should be good just don`t shift down to quick or your Back Tire will loose control .
