In this video I am talking about the best timing and speed for the gear shifting on the Kawasaki Vulcan 900, how it compares with what is recommended by the Kawasaki Owner's Manual, how it impacts the bike's performance and riding safety and last but not least about if you really need the 6th gear on your Vulcan 900.
I've seen a lot of discussions on various motorcycle forums about what the best timing and speed to switch gears are. There is a lot of different opinions, but I'm going to tell you what I do when I ride and why.
