Lug the motor or rev it?

brewbaron · Apr 18, 2004

I just bought a used 99 F-650 and after owning lots of multi cyclinder engines including a current K1200lt I have a question. Is it better to run the engive at higher revs or can you lug the engine down some? Or does the engine not care how it runs?

Thanks

The 650 loves higher rpm work.

It's a single cylinder, if you lug it you do more damage than anything.
Keep it reving at above 4000 RPM, it is a BMW, not a Harley.

I've always heard from owners of the F650 to "ride it like you stole it." Keep them revs up.

This bike is sweet between 4,000 and 5,500 rpms. Don't be scared, it's got one of best engineered engines in the world.
