My bike is comforatable around 2500 to 3000 rpms no matter what I am hauling
I just would use some caution drifiting down to 2500 and then trying to accelerate while in 6th gear
Is that just when pulling a trailer, Dsocko? I have been accerlerating from 2,000 RPMs in 6th gear with 103"er. Is that too low? That's usually just Ma and me, no trailer.

That's interesting. I thought that the computer controlled throttle-by-wire would allow you to accelerate from 2000 rpm in 6th without worries, unlike a carburated engine. But if your running a stock set-up, downshifting is necessary if you hope to gain any speed when you twist your wrist.
