Try lubing your speedometer cable. That sounds like it is binding or

I frequently wonder what gear (or rpm) I should cruise at. meaning, if i'm
going to be at a steady speed, where do i keep the rpms? Being new and
mostly used to cars, when i go by sound I tend to want to keep it at 4000
or lower. Higher rpms sound stressful to me, or like i'm winding it too
My gearing and chain puts me around 3k rpm @ 55, no problems.
Around town I will bum about at steady speed under 3k, at least sometimes.
As long as you aren't lugging the engine too low (and believe me, she'll
let you know!) you're fine.
I really wish I had a 6th gear on the interstate.

Keep “her” running easily and happily!
If out on a flat road, not a lot of wind gusts or up and down hills, lean
towards the lower RPMs. If you need to speed up slightly, it should do that
without baulking, although not quickly. My ‘84 650 will allow a needed swift
downshift without
10-4. I've got some graphite powder. Will that be ok?

When riding yesterday I noticed a repeated sound that sounded
like metal on metal - a tinging sound. I was in a hurry and rushed
around without investigating it.
I agree with the 6th gear idea

Don't stress the rpms too much. The Honda powerplant can handle 10k
momentarily in stock trim, and anything under 7000 is fine forever, just keep
your oil changed, and keep your fuel filter maintained... These engines are
pretty lean in stock trim... Starving the carbs is a killer.

Unlike cars and some other bikes (Harleys, for instance) most Japanese
bikes depend more on rpms than torque for power.
So what you are describing as stress is just the engine being busier
at producing its power. Peak power production is up there in what I
call nosebleed territory, near the red
Being a dieselhead, vtwin torque is part of why I want an sv650...

Paul,
Got a mail in the center of the tire. Like directly in center. Noticed it in
June when I put the bike in the garage for maintenance stay out of the
Houston heat. So I'm not sure how long I was riding on the nail before it's
furlow. Started riding again last week have ridden about 140
I know of several people who have ridden NEW rear tires to the end with
plugs. They all insist on a plug pulled from the inside, a mushroom plug.
Never had to plug a bike tire yet. Given their experiences, I don't think I
would mind going that route, if the tire were fairly new.
Kurt
On Sep 24,
Bikes are meant to rev higher, my 750 liked around 4K, my VFR likes 5-6K. Don't
worry about it and enjoy the ride.

Given that the plug will be the weakest part of the tire, how would
you feel if you hit a hard bump and the plug blew?

I've had to do it before, I got a screw in my rear tire. I only had a few
hundred miles on it and I wasn't looking to replace an essentially new tire. I
rode about 7K miles on it with no issues.

Sounds like people have used plugs and had no issues
Personally i wouldn't bet my life on a $5 temp fix to a $200 new tire
I guess its a risk to reward question.

I'm thinking that a blowout due to a plug failure or expulsion is unlikely, as
it's probably more likely that it will slowly start to leak, than
I may be mistaken, but I THINK plugs are approved as a permanent repair
