gear shiting on Vitpilen 401

[B123]

Hi,

I'm having trouble grasping at what speeds I should be shifting my gears, I have a 2022 Vitpilen 401 Motorcycle.
Normally, I was told to go off of RPM, once it goes above 2,000 to shift, but that's not really the same case for all bikes.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Also, since I'm a fairly new rider, shifting up, there is no problem if I shift up without clutch?

Thanks in advance

On this bike you do not want to shift until 4000 to 5000 rpm if you are just lazily cruising around. If the bike is stock (no fuel tuning device) it will just lug (chuga chug chug ) under 5k rpm. When you are comfortable going faster you will probably want to shift in the 7000-10,000 rpm range.

You can shift up or down without the clutch. If your Easy Shift (quick shifter) is calibrated and working properly then no need to reduce the throttle. But if the quick shifter is not working then you can shift it without the clutch just like any motorcycle by backing off some throttle input, shifting, and then re-apply the throttle.

It has fuelx tune haha.
Oh wow didn't know you could shift down without clutch, I will try that next time I'm on the bike
