i have and 02 gixxer 1000 with an yosh TRS exhaust stock filter lowered and stretched 60 ft 1.7 and 1/4 mile time 9.90 im shifting at 12.5 every gear and some guys tell me im waiting to long to shift, what rpm should i be shifting at

at red line.

at red line.

WRONG~!!!! you HAVE to make it bounce off the rev limiter a few times first. :cheers

so you saying shift like between 13-14 and what you mean bounce off the rev limiter

You wanna shift right before red line, if your hitting the revlimiter your killing your time it takes a 1/10 off each time you hit it, you might want to put you a shiflight on that bike, it helps you from doing that

LOL..... i was being sarcastic if you guys didn't notice. :lol

Shift as close to redline as possible WITHOUT hitting limiter....

when you guys say shift at red line that starts at 12.5 right thats where i shift

Shift at 12,000 rpm and then see what happen, also gearing could be wrong to on your bike

i have -1 , +2 gearing

That sounds like a good starting gearing to me on that bike, you shouldn't have any problems

practice from the sound of it you are just starting. I am not trying to put you down but the more you do it the more accustom to your bike you will become

yeah its cool i havent been racing long but how would you know if you have to much or not enough gearing hope this isnt a stupid question
