MPH and RPMs for shifting into gears
I am new to the the semi-auto shifting on the RTS SE5. They say to shift to 2nd at 22 to 28 mph. What are the MPH to shift into 3rd and the mph range I can be in, in 3rd gear.. Then what mph can I shift into 4th gear and the mph I can stay into 4th before shifting to 5th. I am not good at RPMs.. guess I will have to learn.
Shifting from:
1st to 2nd gear - 22 to 28 mph
2nd to 3rd -
3rd to 4th -
into 5th - 65 mph and over
Are there specific mph's that I need to know or that would help me on down shifting, too?
I rode a Harley Heritage and I just knew when to shift manually - not sure about the semi-automatic shifting. I don't want to screw up the bike by doing it too early.
Thanks you..
According to Customer Service
Just got off the phone with Customer Service and ask this very same question. They said the factory recommends shifting the SE5 transmission between 4000 and 5000 RPMs. Plus they said if you do a slower acceleration that your MPGs will increase. I hope that helps.
