I am fairly new to the riding scene and have a couple of noobish questions. I took a friends GS 500F for a spin around the neighborhood (i know this is an SV forum and talking about anything else is blasphemy...but I figured the rebuke would be worth the knowledge I would get in the end... ;D ) My question is when does one know when to shift to a higher gear? When I was out on the bike, I could feel the difference of when engine was producing power and when the engine just seemed to be whining with out much power output. It was at this point when I shifted to higher gears. I just wanted to see if I was shifting to early, late, or just fine? Also, I used the search function and tried to look up more information about proper shifting techniques and even tried the google way, but not much help. Does anybody know some resources I can read about proper shifting techniques?
Thanks in advance and safe riding!
