David have you put in your new thermostat yet? It can be intermittent which could explain the one good mileage tank of gas.
I have not as I'm 99% sure I don't have a thermostat problem.David have you put in your new thermostat yet? It can be intermittent which could explain the one good mileage tank of gas.
Got it. I'm toiling away earning shecklesPM sent, standing by the white courtesy :call:
Same page from the manual for the CBR1000RR, which I guarantee should be shifted at the same points:For interests sake here’s a page from my owners manual:

yes, my reply was directed at the manual, not at you. I'm still trying to picture someone riding an ST and using those shift points, how comical. I think even for people who would consider themselves non-aggressive riders, typical shift points would be somewhere between 4k-5k RPM.Only reflecting what the manual states
It depends on how fast I want to accelerate. When accelerating slowly (such as in heavy traffic), I often shift around 3K and I rarely wait until 4K before shifting to 5th gear. I think 4K in 4th gear is over 60 mph. I probably shift to 5th somewhere around 55 mph.I think even for people who would consider themselves non-aggressive riders, typical shift points would be somewhere between 4k-5k RPM.
You are spot-on: 4000 rpm in 4th equals 61 mph assuming stock tires.It depends on how fast I want to accelerate.
