Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Doesn't that depend on the gear you are in? My GS1000G seems to like it best over 3000, but like a little over two thousand is fine to make it not do that thing it does in too low rpm.

According to the chart that I have, it should be turning 4186 RPM at 70 mph.
Slow it down to 60, it should be turning 3588 RPM.
The gearing is different for just about every size engine. They are geared so they are spinning fast enough to make the power necessary to handle the speed. As an example, my 850 used to turn about 5000 RPM at 70 mph. I have changed the rear wheel, so it's now closer to 5400. My son's former 650L is closer to 6000 RPM at 70 mph.

Known as "lugging."
If its not redlining just ride it.
Cycle World said 3811 at 60, though mine always turned at closer to 4K. (Stock gearing).
