What are your preferred shifting speeds?

I shift by engine sound and driving conditions. Liston to your exhaust note. It will tell when it's time to shift.

When I was younger, I knew a guy who could fine tune a bike engine strictly by listening to the exhaust. I always thought he was using some kind of voodoo to do it. But then one day " took a long time", My ears tuned to the exhaust. It's amazing what you can tell about the way that bike is running by listening to the exhaust. Those exhaust pipes actually "hum" when they are happy. Some good advice VB.
