Gears and RPM's ... 2014 Iron 883
 

Hi guys,

Just from a newbie on harleys ... can you post, more or less, which are the RPM's on wich you engage each gear on a Iron 883 ? ...

thanks so much !!

For normal cruising, pick a gear that keeps you between 3,000 - 5,000 RPM

cHarley...thanks for your recent PM's.

Sorry to hijack...back on topic...

thanks !!!

does any one know what the redline is for the iron 883?

As this question is repeatedly.asked.over and over maybe a mod can sticky the 883 and 1200 mph/rpm charts.

You should find that info in your owners manual! Page 88 in mine.

Wow, I'm surprised that the 883 is approx 4000 rpms @ 70 mph.

According to my math my 1200C is approx 3300 rpms @ 70 mph.

Didn't think there was that much difference. ? ? For me that's enough reason to get a 1200.

I just found a chart for the 1200 which differs only a little from my math:

In less you have a tachometer knowing what gear at what RPM is really meaningless, I ride and shift gears listening to the motor, Maybe someone can post what speed you should be at to shift to the next gear and so on that without a Tach would be better knowledge for you.

Edit, my bad just looked at the chart and it has mph..
