    Default average RPMs

    Hey, I recently changed my dash to a lvl2 with tacho, and pins needed to be taken off to change it, so just finding out what are some rough RPMs for gear change/speed incase i need to adjust the pins

    At the moment gear changes seen to be around 3000RPM going easy with acceleration or 3500-4000 if I out my foot down, changes to last gear at around 85km/h does this sound correct?

    if your tacho sits on 0 rpm when the ignition is on, then its fine

    Borrow a GPS. Also there are some places that check your speed and display it, but the only one I know of is on the Hume!
