Anyone else think that the gear change indicator tells you to change up way too early?
If I follow its "advice" I tend to end up in 6th getting bogged down with the revs below 2000

Yeh it's epic fail.
I keep revs at 2.5-3k so you know the engine isn't strained and I have useable power should I need it:)

They all do, as they are focussed on economy. Just ignore it☺

Re: Gear change indicator too early
Like Cuprabob said its focussed on economy, I normally change gears when it hits 3k revs
