Hi there,
Newish rider (1 year, 10k miles) with a 05 FZ6 as my first bike. I remember reading early on when I was first deciding about getting this bike as my first bike about something keeping it under 7-8K otherwise she gets crazy. It's been a year and I feel comfortable with the bike thus far but that rule has stuck with me as a warning but I never knew exactly what that means. What exactly happens when you get in the higher RPMs? Does it matter what gear? It has always felt so naturally to shift at the ~7K mark, especially once I shifted to clutchless shifts the thought of riding above that range seems....odd?
