Just got my zx10r 2005 stock, wondering what is a good rpm to cruise at and where the power band is. Not looking to race but, I find myself cruising at 5000 rpm wondering if that is bad or not?
Ok i didn't know if it would hurt the engine to run at low rpms.Wait What? Just ride it.. I'm in the highest gwar I can be in for any given speed without it bogging the motor down.. You know.. like any other vehicle I drive
No, I mean it idles at low rpm doesn't it? You'll know if she doesn't like the rpm youre cruising it by feel and sound. That's whwn you downshift a gesr till you can go faster.Ok i didn't know if it would hurt the engine to run at low rpms.
Agree, generally a good low limit for cruise.I find above 3500 or 4000 on my 07 with stock gearing. Everything seems to mesh at that point.
The previous owner told me that the spark is actually retarded in first gear. Not sure if its a fact or not .
Don`t worry. Cruising at 5000 is ok. Depending on mods your power band is from around 7-8k.Just got my zx10r 2005 stock, wondering what is a good rpm to cruise at and where the power band is. Not looking to race but, I find myself cruising at 5000 rpm wondering if that is bad or not?
5k is a good cruising rpm but youll get that urge to wanna twist that throttle back.
