750gt characteristics

Post by TomL »

Well after reworking the head on the lower jug, rebuilt the carbs, fitting a Dyna Ignition, adding modern switchgear I have my dad's old 750 running pretty well. I realise these bikes characteristics are a little different from the two valve 1000ds in my last Multistrada or even more drastically the 1200dvt in my current one. I guess what I'm curious of is what is the most common cruising rpm for this motor and what is a comfortable rev to shift at? From my ear it appears that cruising at 4000+/- 100rpm keeps it where it can pull hills with little effort and shifting at about 5000rpm seems safe. I noticed that starts to sing above 5000 and I love the way it sounds so I was looking to you all to pull from your experience.

Keep it above 4000 to save the bigend AND to keep the battery loading (especially with the lights on)
