RPM Range Average
Just out of curiousity;
What RPM range do you guys ride in and what cams do you run?
I find that I generally run in the 2000-4000 range, but probably mostly average in the 3000's and that is a stage 1 set up/PCV with the stock cams in the 09 96 inch motor.

On a flat road, I shift into 6th at 2,000 rpm. If I'm taking it easy on the backroads, I'm usually around 2,800-3,000. If I'm really rolling, I have no issues holding the motor above 5,000 rpm for extended periods of time.
Stock heads and cams, Stage 1.

I have stock cams...I run 2000 to 3000 cruising down the road. Cruising around town I run what ever gear gives me the speed limit I want and keeps the engine at 2200 to 2400 rpm. That keeps me on the point to just blast off and not need to shift etc....Helps with the gas milage too!

I usually run between 2500 and 3500 when cruising around. I usually take her up to 5500-6000 each time I'm riding at some point though. I'm using Woods TW6-6
