I am a new rider and have just recently completed my MSF course ( And Passed !!!). The instructor did not spend much time talking about shifting.....more specifically gear to speed ratio. I guess my question is this, I usually shift between 6k and 7k which is quite smooth bit if I was traveling in say third gear at 45 MPH and was at 6k could I stay at that speed and tack setting Indefinitely or must I shift up. Does this have an impact on the gas mileage. When I'm traveling in town I feel like I'm working myself to death trying to get through all the gears only to have slow and start working my way back down.
I have a 2011 FZ6R.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
