Re: Bogging when accelerating in top gear

[John Van Deren <r11rider@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Will,

I also have a '94 RS.  What RPM are you starting at when you do a hard 
roll-on?  5th gear is kind of an overdrive.  If you are starting at 3500 
in 5th (approx 70-75 mph) you should have no stumble.  Lower rpm than 
that (2500) you may want to consider downshifting before your roll-on.
