which gear to select
my mechanic advised I had condensation in my oil because i use my bike for my short daily commute and they recommended more touring ( not exactly the worst recommendation i have had). as it gets colder i am going out less and therefore more concerned about this problem.
i have recently changed to a UNI airfilter ( started with TORs) and i noticed i run more choke longer or i have downshift regularly to keep up the rpms. which got me testing things. how much choke and for how long; and RPMs vs km/h in which gear?
right now my average commute daily temp is 1-10c dewpoint 4c - 10c = 50F
i am considering full choke to start - 1/2 before pulling out and fully closed within 2mins or less depending on moisture - please advise
i am considering 2nd gear for anything below 60 km/h and infact i am even considering 1st gear for anything less than redline to help heat up the bike. i have approx 10 minutes of 1st gear bump2bumper within the commute anyways. please advise I HATE THE BUS and i dont have a car.
