Hey guys i know this might sound so stupid put could someone help me out and tell me what is there normal shift points for there gixxer 600. I just got my bike last week and for some reason i cant get my bike over 90 mph so can someone please tell me the rpm shift points for each gear.

Sounds like there is another problem with your SRAD then just learning to shift. My 600 can easily exceed 90MPH even with a low RPM start and in top gear.

To answer your question, you don't have to take a "running" start at 90MPH. I normally shift at about 10k-11k rpm when driving aggressively and shift at 8k-9k in normal driving. That being said anything over 4000-5000 rpm would be okay.

Sound like you may have to tune a little bit or have someone check your air/fuel ratios if you aren't getting high rpms or top speed.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???

your bike wont go over 90??? maybe i'm reading it wrong, you mean 90 in 1st gear?

okay i guess i shift like a pussy but i shift from 3-5k when riding normally.

if i'm getting on the freeway, its 7-9k

On a blast I shift just before redline (13k) and when in town I don't shift much because I like the noise it makes on the overrun from 8-9k in first or second

Seriously though, you'd know if you had a problem like that, I would've thought it be a pretty obvious problem to if you can't get above 90 on a 600.

For top speed shifting shouldn't matter really. I have a 97 600 and I have done 112 MPH in the 1/4 mile at the track. So for you to reach 90 mph shouldn't be a problem.
