What revs should I ride my bike?
The ideal rpm place to be in normal riding around conditions is to sit just before your power starts to come on. Someone with a spada will be able to tell you where that is. For my zzr, power starts at 8000, max power at 12500. So I cruise at just below 7000.
Is short shifting bad for your bike?
Bikes often feel good when short-shifting: progress is smooth, relaxed and changing up at low revs is great when carrying a pillion. But the bike will feel even better in a lower gear. If going down a gear is the only way to get any engine braking, the bike is definitely in the wrong gear.

What’s the difference between redlining and revving a motorcycle?
So really the main difference between revving and redlining is that redlining just means you are revving to the highest RPM’s the motorcycle is capable of doing. You may have heard an old saying that states “a redline a day keeps the carbon away” or “a redline a day keeps the mechanic away.”
Why does a motorcycle engine rev so loud?
Engine revving is so loud due to the combustion sequence happening faster so it’s pushing a lot more air out of the exhaust valve through the exhaust pipe. For some motorcycles, revving sounds a lot louder because the owner made some modifications to the exhaust.
Why does my bike Rev high when I start it?
When your gas tank is almost empty, the bike is likely to rev. This is as a result of insufficient flow of fuel to the engine carburettor. An idle screw functions by changing the position of the throttle plate to increase or decrease an engine’s idle speed.

Why does my motorcycle Rev without the throttle?
When the throttle is applied it seems like it revs sometimes but not how a normal motorcycle would. The first thing I would do is check for proper operation of the throttle cables. Make sure they are returning to the proper location and not holding the throttle open by being gunned up or in a bind somewhere along their routing.
