Not that there is no interest, it's just that many people basically in the same situation with no real way of doing anything about it. Your owners manual gives a set of shift points, and that would likely be at  the lowest possible rpm for each gear.

Hi everybody!

I have following question:

As the 800 is the medium sized engine of our Drifters, with the 400 engine only of Japanese market, and the 1500 engine the favourite of the US market, what is the best rev range were the engine feels better?

I usually drive the bike at low revs (except in highways a.s.o.), with a relaxed driving style (in urgan traffic) but a low revs I hear a "clonck", "clonck" sound that I dislike. :(

Talking with other '800 users, they tell me that our engine likes to be ridden at revs, but I think that's just the opposite of our driving philosophy...Right?

I use the rev and speed calculator:

What's your view on this ?
