Again, try not to learn the "what gear am I in" routine.
Focus on keeping the rpm's within the recommended range, either by looking at the tachometer and/or by ear.
Better learn the right way from the beginning than unlearn such a bad habit later on.
These engines are no cars' engines, they have been made to spin fast.
When you force then to work slowly, you are compromising the lubrication and over-loading the parts, which is bad for the break-in period.
