[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1461502, member: 19880"] I haven't had any issues with battery not charging running at lower RPM. i.e. Highway cruise in 5th gear (I have a 5-speed Gen II). If you are concerned or if you are running a bunch of accessories like heated gear and auxiliary lighting, you might want to put a voltmeter on the bike to make sure you are running 13.8V or higher. As for the engine's "Happy" point, it all depends on what you are doing. Cruising on the highway when there are no demands for instant power, the bike is happy at 2500 rpm but you will want to downshift to pass someone or for steep hills. The bike doesn't really wake up until 5,000 or more and can be quite exciting running it at higher rpm even though it might not be strictly necessary. [/QUOTE]
