When to hit Fifth Gear in Honda Rebel?
If I’m merging onto the Interstate, probably don’t hit fifth until around 55 or so. You aren’t going to hurt the engine as long as you don’t exceed the maximum shift points as shown by the red arrows on the speedometer. No need to wind it that high every time you shift, but if you need to, you can.
What are the gears on a Honda Rebel?
Amy if you look at the speedometer there are red numbers, 1 to 5. Those are a crude way of letting you know NOT to go past that speed in whichever gear the number says. 1st gear can go up to 20 MPH before it starts being bad on the engine. 2nd gear up to 37 MPH or so. The engine will sound like it’s screaming at those RPM’s.
