Shifting gears...

Hi guys,

I looked at the manual and it suggests to shift from first to 2nd at 8 miles/hr, and 2dn to 3rd at like 16 and so on, my speeds are almost double these numbers and when my tacometer reads close to 4000 rpm. Is this bad?

It's not bad, just remember that the higher you go on your tach the more gas you're burning.

Good luck, I've tried that before but I love the way my exhaust sounds when it hits 3k and above and it didn't last long
