Platinum Boarder Posts: 1544 Re:Bucking engine when torquing at low revs... 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   For what it's worth, I go into 5th gear at 70+ on hard accel onto highway. Cruise in 5th if maintaining over 60 mph. Anything lower, and the poor things lugging.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #99087 Helmut (User) If you can't be young be immature Senior Boarder Posts: 352 Re:Bucking engine when torquing at low revs... 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Hi Woody. I too am a Millwright and Industrial electrician. Notice electrician is second LOL. Anyway I will not say what everyone else said it is true. I love your neck of the woods. Lake on the Mountain and sandbanks are cool. WELCOME.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99280 Hay Bay Woody (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 Re:Bucking engine when torquing at low revs... 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Hi guys: Thanks for the info. You have convinced me that my Roadstar is operating normally, and I will ride it accordingly. However...The design of the engine does suggest that the owner's manual shift points should be correct. I am going to try to get to the bottom of the descrepency between the recommended shift points and the required shift points.   Logged     \"Everybody dies, but some people never live!!!\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #99345 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1544 Re:Bucking engine when torquing at low revs... 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   There are several old threads related to shift points, but I am of the opinion still that the shift points listed in the owner's manual are great if you like lugging the engine and replacing fouled spark plugs weekly. Definitely recommend shifting by ear and feel.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #99411 jd750ace (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 121 Re:Bucking engine when torquing at low revs... 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My Manual also reccomends I take the bike to the dealer for maintenance...................   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #99444 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 661 Re:Bucking engine when torquing at low revs... 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My R* hits the rev limiter at 40 in 1st, 60 in 2nd, 80 in 3rd. If you just shifted at half that you'd be fine.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99485 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh.

Then what would you do? If you use the numbers given for km/h for mph instead it isn't too bad. My bike has a tach and 2000rpm gets 20,30,40,50,60 going thru the gears. These engines love it at and above 2000 rpm. We have had a couple of people say that they think there aught to be a 6th gear. What would you do with it? The ratio for 5th is .75/1.00 which is an overdrive! Clifford   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
