I dont have time to be looking at the clocks when I am riding hard anyway so I usually go by how the bike feels.

you right mark you should know your own bike- but if your light is set correctly you have maximum benefit and power.. inexperienced riders would gain nothing on the top end but think they are shifting and getting power but going off the power curve..:biggrin

very true...but, don't forget, depending on which year the bike is the power has moved a lot... on my dyno run the peak power was 10,500 and then levels off...:thumbup

Went out with the lads today zx9, R1, fireblade, gixxer etc 8 of us in total went up to Hawes (yorkshire) I ,m new to Vtwins more used to jap 4s recently selling my fireblade. I have set my light to 9500 thinking this is peek power on my 02 mille. But I,ve still got the demon (I must rev the bollocks off it to get it to go fast) and keep hitting the limiter and almost binning the thing. I don,t usually look at the clocks when riding out with the mates, but I guess I am gonna hav too, at least until I get used to the exhaust tone and change gear early.........................
ride thar torque, find out wheres its at a stick to it!!
Roll on is really impressive for a bike with (02) nearly 40bhp deficit.
lots of fun between..oh standstill and bout 150, leaves everything else for dead(with the right gearing). more fun then those pesy topended IL4's!!

got mine set at 10.5 k, gonna have a look at the dyno graphs that came with the power commander and set it differently accordingly
