What is the normal RPM range for a motorcycle?
1 Answers
Motorcycles generally maintain an RPM between 1,200 and 1,500 under normal conditions. Below are some riding precautions: 1. Break-in period: During this phase, the riding RPM should not exceed 50% of the maximum power RPM, and the highest RPM should not surpass 75%. 2. After the break-in period: The maximum riding RPM should not exceed 75% of the maximum power RPM, as exceeding this limit may cause unnecessary mechanical issues. 3. Gear usage: Taking a common 125CC motorcycle as an example. First gear is only used for low-speed starts or climbing very steep slopes. Shift into second gear immediately after starting. Second gear typically operates at speeds between 10-20 km/h, while third gear is suitable for 20-40 km/h, and fourth gear works best between 30-50 km/h. Generally, speeds above 40 km/h can utilize fifth gear. Note that the required gear and speed may vary depending on road conditions, gradients, and other factors even at the same speed.
