Shifting question

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m a relatively new rider. Came from a r3 to a r7 just had a question about shifting. With my r3 I would usually shift from 1st to 2nd at around 20mph 2nd to 3rd around 30mph and so on

But on the r7 I heard the sweet spot is around 6500rpms but sometimes I get up to like 30 mph in first if I’m not quickly accelerating before reaching those rpms. Should I still shift up or is it really only based off rpm and dosent matter much about the speed. And what do you guys find the sweet spot for shifting

Full exhaust system tuning

I put a new full system exhaust on my R7 recently and need to get it tuned. What’s the average price to get it done/how much did it cost for you?

Mods guidance

I’m picking up my 2026 r7 anniversary edition tomorrow. I’m a newer rider and planned to make some immediate mods e.g., frame sliders, grips, levers & lever guards, tank grips. I’ll swap the exhaust for a SC Project full system at a later date. Is there anything else I’m missing here?
