What is the lowest speed you have been able to put it into 5th on flat ground without lugging? 4th?

Without lugging I'd say 30 mph, 1k rpms, just cruising,

4th, 20mph, same rpms.

Shifting is like so:

RPM MPH
2k *shrug*
1.5k 20mph
1.25k 25mph
1.25k 30mph

[budomove]

are those rpms for the moment b4 you shift?

I am confused as to why they would be lower at higher speed.

[SVOboy]

That's where I shift, yes. It's too hard to bunch up the shifts in the front, by the time I'm in 3rd I'm accelerating so slowly the shifts are evenly spaced.

[budomove]

evenly spaced? i'm confused

[budomove]

I'm sorry, but,.."bunch up the shifts in the front"? I am doubly confuz-ed.

[SVOboy]

I mean time wise, I don't want to be like, shiftshiftshift...........shift............shift.

It's funny to you but I have never ran out of fuel by my guessing method.

Actually I can appreciate that, i think we all have that ability, It is just a funny soundbyte to have happened. Almost like a kip quote from napoleon dynamite kind of funny.
