Best speed to shift at? Since I don't have a Tach!
#31
I guess I, initially, did not word my question the way it I wanted it to be asked.
For that I apologize.
I am aware of listening to the motor, when it revs excessively you shift up and when it bogs you shift down.
However, since HD produced the bike with no tachometer, I thought well maybe there is a preferred speed at which the specific shifts are to take place during your ride.
And being the experienced group of riders that you guys & gals are here on this forum I thought it to ask, are there any preferred speeds at which specific shifts are to take place upon acceleration of the motorcycle.
Well, sounds like there may not be a particular sweet spot or number and that shifting techniques are more of a personal preference, and therefore to each their own.
I do appreciate the favorable input and advice.
Thank you all!
Enjoy your HDs.
