Oh the carbs are completely cleaned, when I first got it the engine won't even start without cleaning the carbs.

I'm just curious around RPM do you guys shift? For me, it seems I always shift at around 5-6k RPM which is very easy to get for from 1-40 MPH, but after the 3rd or 4th gear after I shift, the RPM meter stays at 5-6k, and it takes a much longer time to go up to 7-8K as well as speed going up.

But I do get the feeling that I should shift the prior gears at much higher RPM and well as my current gear?
