How many RPMs before you upshift

Post by nightWatcher » Fri Jun 29, 2018 9:27 pm


Simple question, just wondering how hard you guys are riding your H2 SX? Now I'm well and truly out of break in period, I'm getting a lot of pleasure in pushing each gear to near red line. I spend most of my time in first or second around city (mostly first). It seems to come to life in high RPMs, actually starts sounding like a supersport when the revs are high enough. I don't really want to break the engine either by flogging it all the time either. So just wanted to get opinions.

Get an ECU flash and bump the redline to 13,000 rpms and you can.
