    Thanks all. I'm sure this will be fun to ride.

    I know I read this somewhere here, but around what RPM should it need to be before shifting?

    Default 2500 to 3000

    That seems to be where most are shifting their 1330 Triples but there is a bigger hit of power above 4000 and up to about 6000 or so. Maybe for passing etc.

    on your new F3. You will need to experiment to find the sweetspot on your F3. I use 3000 - 3500 on my 2014 RTS. I am not an aggressive driver. If you really need to move fast for a pass or an avoid, there is plenty of reserve power to get up and go just by cranking the throttle.

    I am guessing that F3 owners are going to drive a bit more aggressive and we will be hearing what the preference is there. I am also guessing 4000 +.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I think you're right -- I would not shift as low as 3000, I've been shifting somewhere between 3500-4000. Some speed limits (like 35 mph) cause travel at that "do I shift now or just hang out here?" rpm of 3400-3600. I've done both, and haven't decided yet whether to shift or not, though the engine sounds more comfortable and drops to 3000 if I do shift. When taking off from a light, it's definitely 4000+ for the shift points.

    I got the Pure Magnesium Metallic with the red-orange frame. No farkles yet, but I have a feeling they are coming soon! I'm looking at a windshield for starters.

    I thought a windshield would be the first accessory, but I went ahead and installed a 12V power outlet and a pigtail for a trickle charger.

    I like the wheels on the F3-S. Wouldn't mind having them on my RT-S.
