<p>[QUOTE="goga, post: 11712623, member: 325312"]I would repeat the post of 062 with "watch the speed and RPMs" with a bit of detail. LEARN the RPMs on each speed, in my case on 10 speed it is a 500 drop. Meaning, I run the engine ALWAYS between 1800 and 1300 RPMs, up or down. If I'm pulling up hill, or stopping and need to shift, I wait till 1300RPMs come up, then release the gear, rave the engine till 1800 and stik it in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
