 |  Cruising RPM
Hey all. Here I am at school "studying" and I couldn't find a thread on this topic. If a bike redlines at 13.5 thousand RPM, what is the proper RPM for cruising with the intention of saving gas? My bike feels "boggy" at anything under 4K. It doesn't even feel right unless I'm cruising at 5.5K, but then there is this vibration and my right hand gets numb quick. That really bothered me yesterday as I went with my friend for a 2 hour twister cruise. I try to keep it at 5K while not accelerating but I don't know if this is too high. |
