my 2 cents

My system is to shift early,,,in another words make all the shifting tall. In the rain you dont want that wonderfull R torque to bring you down. Also it sounds like where shifting in the middle of a turn..mmmmmm a no no for sure! Hey you now what you learn and it made you a better rider right!

car vs bike

I think that on the R it dont matter becasue the oil does not effect the trans. I use 10w40 (mobil)on my R and motorcycle oil on others becasue of the wet trans.
