The best rpm to shift is around the 4000 rpm mark for each gear....Just maintain that rpm to ensure you get the maximum fuel efficiency as well as driving pleasure...
if you want to zoom, then don't change until it reaches the 6000 rpm mark in each gear before shifting................

It sounds like your new to biking you can change gear any time you like. now pull away slowly and shift through all the gears you are now in top gear but the engine is sluggish hardly any revs when you open the throttle. now change down a gear and the engine will be a Little more responsive and so on. Now for a quick get away. pull away with the throttle wide open. all engines have a power band once past the power band the bike will stop accelerating which you should be able to feel so change gear just before the power drops off.
Happy biking

2/3 of the RPM range (between idle and red-line).

Check the users manual, or contact dealer.
