RE: The lugging problem
Ok- I tried asking once before, but maybe in this thread it will work. With an 883, what are the proper speeds to be upshifting? Right now, when warmed up and not trying to be quiet in the morning, I shift:
1-2: 20 mph
2-3: 30 mph
3-4: 40 mph
4-5: 50 mph
 \\;\\\\\\;
I know I can get into it and shift at much faster speeds, but is this around appropriate shifting?
 \\;
Since I don't have a tach, what are the maximum speeds I want to be pushing in each gear?
1-2: 20 mph
2-3: 30 mph
3-4: 40 mph
4-5: 50 mph

Yes, I \\;think that's \\;just fine. The \\;manual for my 1200R says 15/25/35/45. Now that's at the bottom of the speed \\;range. That corresponds to about 2000 rpm. As far as maximum speed, your bike most likely has a rev limiter (after 200x?) which will \\;cut out the ignition. So you \\; could run it to the limiter and see how fast that is.  \\; \\;
