Hey all!!

Just wondering what is the general amount of revs people are changing at when cruising?

I had a Harley before this so I’m not used to the high rev range.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Nick

Depends on riding style I geuss.

When starting a ride I warm up engine first so around 4-5K
Warm engine 6-8k

If you wanna have some fun 10K and above??

Thanks Black_Gold_Saw - sweet, that’s about what I’ve been doing 6 - 8 that is. So riding at 10+ isn’t going to hurt the engine?

Cheers,

The short answer is nope.

No not going to hurt your engine. However if your Brutale is brand new I'd follow to manual and keep it under a certain amount of rpm till you've reach that mileage.

Others believe in a hard break in. Others follow the manual.
Up to you A manual exist for a reason.

I had a Buell XB12X before my MV Turismo so I know exactly what you're taking about here.

That said, in town, I shift between 3 & 5k rpm.
Got 1200 miles on my Turismo now and have yet to find the rev limiter.

ADD: whilst cruising on the freeway 5 to 6k depending on speed... 70 to 80 MPH.
