Just sound it out. You can tell when the engine is getting near its limit because it goes like "WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"

Puttering around town, shouldnt be to hard to sound it out... if you feel your winding it up real tight, shift... I dont know theres ever a "perfect" speed to shift in ANYthing

Yeah, sound it out

Speaking of "WWAAAAHHH," my 240 sounds like a freight train when it's travelling at speeds above 70 miles per hour.
