Optimum RPM to change gears on a Honda CBR 250R?

[racefactory]

Nice one. Were there any other 250s and small bikes scrapping it out?

me vs westy on his MC19 - he kept having clutch problems though

[DrunkenMistake]

has anyone ever had problems with hitting neutral when trying to shift fast at high rpm on a CBR250? what am i doing wrong? sometimes its not even neutral it can be between 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th etc.... i throttle off, pull the clutch right in and give it a decent 'kick', but it still managers to get between gears. Only happens when i change at 15k+ rpm... i can see this being a problem if i take it to the drags

Its pretty generic, I used to hit it all the time when I banged up a gear from first with really High revs, couldnt tell you what caused it though, seemed to be inconsistent, make sure if you change your oil you change your filter, its like $12 they are the same as dirt bike filters, so expect a look from the occasional bike shop.

Also If I remember right, the MC19 peaks at 16 or 17 grand, I have like a 200 page workbook here on it that has all the specs, I just cant be bothered looking for it all, (by workbook I mean when I brought the bike I was handed a huge pile of paper..) You will find these things get torquey at around about 6 - 7grand so hill starts require some screaming before moving technique but you will feel the pick up at around about 10 but once you hit 17 it will flatten out and you will feel it, if your hitting a sweet twistie road I find it rides better at around 16 grand, keeps you in the sweet spot when you give a touch of brake before you enter a corner and gives you the torque you want when you leave it .. been meaning to get my GoPro off tigertim20 and take the cbr for a good rape before I take it into the bike shop to sell it, not having alot of luck on TM.

i think i figured out what i was doing wrong. Normally, when im about to shift up, I rest my toe under the shifter (no gap). This restricts me from giving it a decent 'pop' and results in me getting between gears. I went for a quick ride yesterday leaving a gap and had no problems.

thanks for all the advice. How much is the shop gonna give you for it? Record your thrash and post it up

Shop will sell on behalf of, so they rekon I could get $4,200 for it, if that were the case I would asume they would take $200 at least, then a new wof and rego comes out of that total as well.
And will do, gonna try do it tomorrow morning about 7, fuck all traffic and I live down a meannn road, my mate made a sweet vid using footage of my 400, i will find link and show you if you want?

nice vids , that NC30 is pretty mean . Wonder if i could get away with owning one of them on my restricted . Is there a noticeable speed difference between the MC19 and NC30?

An absolute shitload of difference, night and day. Also in the way it delivers that power with the V4 and sound. I've been riding NC30's since my learners a few years back and never been caught.
