RPMS

[minus16969]

I have heard that you are supposed to keep the RPMS high on a two stroke to make it run like it should. So does that mean that you should only shift when you have the throttle exactly pinned? Or will this hurt the bike?

Riding the bike is up to you. if your in low rpms and shift up, its a little harder for the motor to catch up to speed, but basicly, they say that because to make the bike competitive, u keep it in the high rpms to run the bike in the meat of the horsepower. the 2 stroke makes most horsepower in the high rpm range. shifting later as opposed to sooner is better to optimize the potential speed of the bike. less work for the motor to speed up to the meat of the power.
