Hey,
Long story short, just passed the MFC course in NYC. I'm not in the city but still deal with a lot of stop and go, average 25-40 mph with lights and stop signs everywhere.
My question is what seems to be the best gear for this scenario and at what point to downshift (I know depends on so many variables). I've read and watched a ton of stuff, engine breaking, rev matching.... I'll practice stuff as I go but reading our z650 book it seems like downshifting is basically done around 20mph on the z650. I'm not so clear on it. Any advice or breakdown would be appreciated.
Thank you
