I just bought an '03 Buell Blast - I've never ridden a motorcycle beforehand (I've a friend giving me informal lessons - yesterday we covered starting and all-embracing steering). Just got out within my apartment complex's driveway and did laps, staying beneath 20mph, concentrating on steering and starting.
However, I'm still new to listen to a motorcycle's engine (and my Buell doesn't have a tach, newly a speedo), and would like to know a broad 'speed range' guide for each of the gears (I'll start trying to shift from 1st to 2nd subsequent time I'm with my friend).
RTFM
There is no "set speed" for varying gears.
It's a learning and experience point.
Answers: you will hear it as the RPM's rev up.
I will own to agree with the posts from frbrock and budda. I too took the riders periphery course 7 years ago, and have ridden over 25K.
Lessons that I own learned:
If your reverse tire starts to break loose on the pavement, roll on throttle. ( the rear is spinning too SLOW and this is cause it to loose traction).
White pavement markings are slick when wet beside rain or dew.
When braking on gravel use the reverse brake, not the front brake, unless you want to do a little body building by picking your bike up.
Gophers are suicidal, this is because they own a magnetic attraction to your front tire.
and buzzards run off unbelievably, very, VERY slowly.
