Uh, How many miles do you have on the bike.  If you have a new bike that's
only a week and a half old you need to look at the sticker on your tank
that describes the breakin schedule.  My dealer told me that the first 500
were the most important and the rest was really aimed at the German riders
who ride at much higher speeds for longer periods of time than the rest of
the world.  But I plan on following it all the way to the 1000 mile mark.
Otherwise it just depends on your riding style.  I tend to shift around
6,000rpm now that I can.

those holes are for the seat cowl.  Tabs in the back of the seat cowl,
bolts in from.
