Freeway riding/constant revs

[Trox]

Today I rode to a course in Para from the Gong, as such I was on the Freeway and Motorway a fair amount of the trip and found myself at a fairly constant rev, I intend on riding more on the Freeway to work as well.

With this in mind and having just finished breaking in my 250, albeit a contraversial subject, one thing seemed to be common in people thoughts was that whilst breaking in you should avoid riding at constant revs (which I did....pretty well anyway ).

Does this apply after break in as well? (hope I didn't open up the "break-in can'o'worms")
Is there an optimum or preferred rev range to sit in (obviously I can change up or down gears to sit at a lower or higher rev rate)?

Thanks

You'll be fine mate my 09 ninja 250 has survived 42000+ kms so far and thats mainly road riding( hwy, fwy, twisties, track)...

With modern engines and oils of today your bike Will run fine at a constant rpm it's only competition ( Mx and enduro) bikes that don't like to be held at constant rpm for long periods of time. Top gear and go for it mate

Mate that engine is indestructable. Has been around for donkey's years and will probably be still around after we have perished

You'll be fine

Revs should be a constant 16K rpm in 6th gear on those little things. Keep up the good work

That motor is as strong as any! Powerful No but built to last yes And that little 250R is good for a 2.05 at Eastern Creek on a trackday So dont stress that bike is built tough and will withstand whatever u throw at it

Good to know, I gave it a bit today, got my toe down for the first time too going through Mac pass, ha freaked me for a split second then a feeling of joy came over as I realised it was my toe cause I "leaned the farker!"

Wouldn't mind gettin to the track but think i might go watch and listen for a few times first

Thanks guys
