Which Gear do people use for normal 30MPH Zones?

I use all the gears, all the time.

I'll be honest, i dont think i have ever questioned what gear to ride in in any situation. If its wrong, i drop a gear. Im usually in 3rd maybe 4th, dont know.

Thanks for the more advise, whats a good rpm rate before changing gear on the SV I seem to do it around 5K.

But I am so use to car driving bikes a little different.

Change when the rev limitor starts to retard the ignition you big girl's blouse!

LOL mate I am a new rider, I know what it can do, but I am not comfortable yet lol but thanks for that tip.

If you're counting gears you're not concentrating on the road.

And I was told, and experience tells me, on the SV only put it in 1st when stock still.

Cheers mate that was the answer to the other question, will put it all in to practice tonight, if the weather down this way gets better.

I generally find myself in 2nd for most 30 limit riding. Maybe 3rd if I've come from a faster road and there's no traffic.

The only time I find myself counting is when I'm off a dual carriage way in 5th or 6th, I am approaching a roundabout and I want to make sure I end up in 2nd or 3rd, so I count backwards as I shift down.

Generally you should know in which gear you are by looking at the speedo and revs.

Thanks guys
