RPM at Speed?

Now ya got it.

I was just like you running my bike the way I ran my mini-pickup between 2500-3000.

Definately a noob mistake it took me me a couple of months to realize it though as I was fouling out my plugs and thinking I had nasty engine issues.

As I am more of a casual rider, well most of the time anyhow, my bike likes to cruise above 4k around town on on the curves. On the Straight away though she loves to kick me in the ass and it is hard to keep her contained. She really loves it over 5k.

But for heavens sake and your own, above all be safe. Remember the other guy in the 4-wheeled cage doesn't even see us when we run slow let alone we are cutting loose having fun. Things come at you really fast at 80mph and up not too mention are harder to stop .

[80GS750]

have no fear, i plan on being safe as i can... i dont want to be kissin bumpers any time... ever.

now that i know she can take it, i will be running her over 5k more often, i really like the way she sounds up there.... screamin!!!


she also runs so sweet for me after i do it to her....
she does seem to be running a little rich in the bottom end...

You better watch that video again. :shock:

The GS was in the right lane.

The right lane won.

Times were 9.43 and 9.47 er 6. Yeah, 9.46

The difference was not .3, it was .03.

The almost 30 year-old GS beat Harley's newest and bestest. \\/

Judging by what you did to your 750, your dad is a lucky fella.

If you can get two of those 1000s running, would one fit in your 750 frame ??

Like father like son. \\/

Just a thought.
