According to the manual, below are the recommended shift points for Fury:
Shifting Up:
1st - 2nd: 12 mph
2nd - 3rd: 19 mph
3rd - 4th: 25 mph
4th - 5th: 31 mph
Shifting Down:
5th - 4th: 22 mph
4th - 3rd: 16 mph

On my Harley, here are the recommended shift points:
Shifting Up:
1st - 2nd: 15 mph
2nd - 3rd: 25 mph
3rd - 4th: 35 mph
4th - 5th: 45 mph
Shifting Down:
5th- 4th: 40 mph
4th - 3rd: 30 mph
3rd - 2nd: 20 mph
2nd - 1st: 10 mph

I so get used to the Harley, and I've been following the Harley shifting points on my Fury. I only own my Fury for a week, and I have not seen any engine rev too high or too low.

The obvious differences are up-shifting from 4th to 5th at 31 mph (Fury) vs 45 mph (Harley); and down-shifting from 5th to 4th at 22 mph (Fury) vs 40 mph (Harley).

I plan to keep both rides for several years, and changing between two bikes so often can sometimes be forgotten in shifting at recommended points.

I obviously can't follow the Fury recommended on Harley, because engine will rev too high. I've tried.

I followed Harley recommended on Fury for a week, and it seems okay.

If I keep applying the Harley recommended on Fury, will I kill or worn out my engine / shifter / clutch quicker?

Of course it's best to follow the recommended points for each bike, but I'm sometimes forgotten :grin:

There are recommended shift points?? Ha, who knew??
Just go with your gut and hearing. Whatever makes you smile, is the correct shift point.

If you check out the link in my signature it will give you the stock rev limiter specifications per gear along with a lot of other info. Just to make it easy for you here it is...

1st, 2nd, 3rd.... 5250Rpm rev limit = 40mph, 60mph, 80mph stock respectively
4th................... 5000Rpm rev limit = 100mph max speed stock
5th................... 4800Rpm rev limit = 100mph max speed stock

With the reflash it is much different... Lol

This. My old man taught me just to shift by sound and feel. And still to this day, I've never owned an automatic of any kind.

5 combined knee/leg surgeries at the ripe age of 31 and I won't own one until the damn things fall off
