How to shift gears in my R15?

Hello there.. I have bought a brand new R15.. I'm really exited about it. I wanted to ask .. whats the right way of changing gears? i.e. :- At what RPM should u normally change the gear and how not to make that click noise while shifting gears ??? especially while lowering the gear... cuz... Some of my friends told that it could harm the bikes clutch bell or something... Pls help me out... !!!How to shift gears in my R15?
there is no set point (RPM) you should shift. It all depends on how much power you want or need. If your trying to pick up speed quickly like getting on a HWY then shift at or right below red line. You downshift so your in the right gear when its time to get back on the gas. Depends on where your bike has the most power.



You can also skip the clutch all together (except for taking off from a stop) by reloading the shifter. That would be pull up slightly on it with your foot while accelerating. When it's time to shift quickly let off the gas and re apply it. It will pop right into gear. And no that's not hard on the clutch or tranny.How to shift gears in my R15?
Haha, that click is normal, just make sure you've got the clutch in all the way. The I often shift 1k before redline. Your friends aren't very smart.
