I'm a beginner rider and i'm a little bit confused about when to shift......i just don't wana blow up the engine or something because i'm using the wrong gear over an extensive period of time.
At what rpm's is good to shift gears? For example, if i'm riding a 2008 kawasaki ninja 250 with 50 mph, in what gear should i be (4th or 5th), what about at 75-80 mph freeway speed? Do i have to look at the rpm's to know when its time to change gears? I tried to listen to the engine's sound to get an idea when its time to shift, but i couldn't distinguish the pitches very well because of the helmet.
