Which is your favourite gear . . .
 

Mine's fourth, most of the time, with occassionally keeping it in third, as that keeps the revs in the usable and flatter part of the range 6 --> 10 K

2nd!!!! get out of first and its hammer time!
3rd 4th 5th and 6th aint bad either!

Any,as long as its got teeth.Im quite partial to seventh gear,that one you look for on the motorway :lol:

For me it's first. Just love pulling away fast from the lights and quickly popping it up on the rear wheel :twisted: .


.

well, all depends on whats around me and whats going on and where im at.

at lights, its 1st (no questions asked)

on a motorway, its 4th 5th or 6th depending on whats going on.

i find it hard to lift the front wheel on my k3, is it cuz im running standard gearing?(sorry for going away from the question)

I still haven't been able to find 7th! Glad to hear I'm not the only one! :lol:

P.S. what is a "motorway?"



P.P.S. I'm JUST KIDDING! I know you meant to say freeway or highway. :P

Technique, honestly. Pull away in first and then keep it at 20mph for a sec then snap open the throttle. No I don't mean open it quickly I mean snap it open hard. The front wheel should then rear up and you've done your first SV wheelie. Do remember to close the throttle pretty quick though as it's easy to flip.

so first it was my exam's then is was my driving test then it was my bike test now its trying to get airborne on my sv.thanks jonboy.

On both the SV1000 and the ZX6 exiting 3rd & 4th gear corners is a exciting affair.

Gotta be fourth for me :lol:

Second, well it was on the rs. Did 30 in first (which i thought was quite good for a 125) and with the powervalve opening it still shifted, so in second it still kicked pretty hard but you were going a bit faster, maybe 45-50 or so

I have 16/46 sprockets and spend most time in 3rd or 4th gear, but 2nd gear in the dragon is most fun

I usually like every gear, except first, provided I am around the 6500 rpm range, it always feels nice.

I couldn't find PVC as an option :lol:

6th is best on my airfield - cruises nicely at 100+

seeing as third seems to be the favorette. maybe suzuki should make an sv with 5 3rd gears

:oops: sorry, i booked the taxi before i commented

Jeans and a t-shirt for me

Ganj is quite good gear... :lol: :lol:

I have just noticed one of the options, Fitih - Im a motorway crusier, erm, i use 6th when on the motorway thank you! Why on earth would you use 5th?

Yup 4th for me too, when I am out with my mates (all on 1000cc machines) I find myself having to use 4th and 5th just to keep pace with them through the twistier A road stuff... 4th is great, loads of punch from low(ish) speeds... :D

If your restricted and want to go top speed then you get that out of 5th on my restricted, in 6th i just loose speed whenever there is an incling of a incline.

Other than that i like 1 at the lights, 2 at roundabouts, 3 most other times, 4 for that bit between 3 & 5 and 6th for when i cant be bothered to go anything above 70-80 on mway.

Richard :?
