Agree 100%

If your going a little to slow for the gear your in (engine starts to lug) down shift. It's always better for the motor to be on the high end ofa gear than the low end.
After you ride it alittle you'll get a feel for when to shift, you won't even have to think about it.
You don't have to worry about over reeving the engine and blowing it, the 07's have all kinds of "computer crap" that won't let the happen.

I just got my first new Harley a month or so ago, just let me say you will love your new bike.[sm=biker2.gif]

 

To add to my naggin questions. How do I know, or what occurs when I hit the rev limiter. I know what a rev limiter is and how it works on cars, but I just wanted to know what it is like on the harley I have. Sorry to ask these questions but I would rather ask then try to hit the rev limiter on my new baby.

 

When you hit the rev limiter the engine rpm levels off and stays at that rpm. Don't ask me how I know.

 

Maybe I'm old school but I would never take my engine rpm up to the rev limiter. To me that is nothing more than abuse.

 

That makes me old school as well then.
