What is the optimal RPM for shifting gears?
1 Answers
Generally, you can shift gears when the engine reaches around 2,000 RPM. The optimal RPM range for shifting is typically between 1,500 and 2,500 RPM. If fuel economy is a priority, shifting around 1,500-1,800 RPM is recommended. For lower gears, it's advisable to shift at around 2,000 RPM. During the break-in period, it's best to shift at lower RPMs. If you're looking for better performance, shifting around 2,000-2,500 RPM is ideal. Recommended RPM for upshifting: 1. During the break-in period, shift at 2,200-2,500 RPM (refer to the left tachometer). 2. After the break-in period, shift at 3,000 RPM, though in city driving, you can reduce this to 2,500 RPM.
