Title: When do you shift?
Post by: Boomer on September 24, 2019, 10:36:30 AM

Just wondering?

I have a BIS the engine, it's not a torque monster but I can shift really early. In fact it's a bit like a diesel engine, low down power!
I see no point going to 4500 rpm, it just doesn't feel right. What about you? And the one with lightened flywheels and moded engines?

There is no point in going to 4500, it power is more about the torque of the engine

Yes amazing the tractability of this engine. I started in second from standstill today… no clutch slipping, no drama… but a slow start for sure!
