Just picked up my new 14 RT Limited. Got a great deal on my 12" RT A/C
Question is. I'm looking to see what others are using for their shift points.
I think the ECO mode sucks.

Thanks for all info you guys care to share.

congrats, and i just shift by sound.. you will see you don't need to shift as much as you did on your last bike because of the torque this bike has

:congrats: Which color did you get? :nopic:
For starters; try shifiting at about 2,500 rpm.
That'll get you in the Ballpark. :thumbup:

:congrats: on your new 2014 RT Limited! It's an AWESOME machine! :thumbup: I agree with Bob's comment on shift points -- a much different engine/trans than the 2012 you had! :D:D:D

Enjoy! :ohyea::ohyea::ohyea::ohyea::ohyea:

:congrats:on your 14'RT, you will really like the 14'RT. I bought a 14RTS-SE6 in Cognac, end of July ( this year) trade a 12RTS-SE5 Blue also. I have 1748 miles on it.

The 14's are awesome machine, any one with a 14RTS-SE6 will tell you they are Awesome, less trips to the dealer, very low maintance. I did my first farkle, and it will be Unveiled @ Spyderquest ( next week). Deanna777

Ryde normal the eco does little to help. Follow the manual or those who know...:thumbup:

I'm probably the odd man out here. I shift between 3000 and 4000 and try to keep the rpms around 3000 so as not to "lug" the engine.

:welcome: and :congrats:

Your gonna like it!

You already figured out Eco Mode. My feeling exactly.

I will give you a third set of shift points--mine are in the middle so far, compared to others posted. I like the feel and sound between 2750 - 3000 rpms. I am lately tending to shift at 3000 or slightly above. Bob and I have an ongoing thing about shifting. He does get slightly better gas mileage than I do though. :roflblack: My last two tanks have been 38 mpg.

Enjoy your new ryde. :yes:

You can't lug this engine; it's got TORQUE! :thumbup:
