every 1km

according to the drivers manuel, max speed for gears are following:
1st 50km/h
2nd 90km/h
3rd 130km/h
4th ?
5th ?

rev it til it hits fuel cut. so when the engine power dies off you know you should change before that. make not of this speed and change before that, easy

lol, u shouldn't encourage him to kill his motor by bending the valves

[redefine]

hitting fuel cut wont bend valves... i've hit my fuel cuttoff a couple of times and havent bent the valves...honda puts the fuel cuttoff before it gets to a point where bad shit happens.

plug it into the mfactory gear calculator (http://www.teammfactory.com/gearcalculator.php) and it should spit out some good info
