Whats a good cruising rpm?

[DeeGee]

Whats a good cruising rpm for the 4-tec? I have the n/a version gtx my max rpm is about 7350-7400. Is 6500-6800 rpm ok? thats abut 3/4 throttle for me. I just dont wanna be over working my motor. I want the most out of it. Gas mileage is not really a major concern for me.

I dont` know if this helps ya, bc I have the SC model, (alot of the same parts though) but I usually cruise at around 5800-6200 most of the time. The 4-Tecs are pretty durable, I think as long as you don`t ride WOT continuosly you`d be alright...PR...

I think I remember 5000 RPM was the best for mileage. I've done long cruises at 6500-7000 without problems. A few 5 mile spurts at 7500 and above every now and then, no problems (04RXP).

Awsome now i feel better about holding my ski at 6500 when cruising.
My friends drive rx's and gp1200s there rpms are considerbaly lower. But there 2 stroke. There just not to familiar with the 4-strokes
Thanks for the information everyone

I run mine (RXP & RXT) between 5500 and 5800 RPM, 40 MPH, and get about 90 miles to a tank.
