Ok Guys,
I've been riding a cruiser for the last 20,000 miles and I'm used to keeping the rpms low in general for just riding around.
In my first few rides on my 05 FJR I've been playing around with the revs and I've found it's really fun to let it run around 4,500 rpm in second or third gear because it feels like the engine just wants to explode with power. When I WOT it just screams until about 8,000 and it's a hell of a great feeling.
Is it okay to run around at 4,500 to 5,500 as a matter of course, I know to my ears it sounds like the engine is working hard, but I'm coming from a Low revving cruiser.
Thanks.
