Depends on the torque of the motorcycle and the road conditions. Generally, don't let the engine labour and don't make the engine scream.

When you accelerate in a car why does the car change quickly between gears?

If it is an automatic transmission, the speed of the engine (in rpm) is what makes the gears change. Accelerate too much and it will fly up through the gearbox when it is not supposed to. If it is a manual transmission, the gears shouldn't change without the clutch being depressed and you manually changing gear; at most, it will simply disengage and cease turning the wheels.

Double clutching, matching your RPM to the speed of the gear selected and doing it quickly, as most Scania trucks have a non-synchromesh gear system that will cause them to "grind" if you miss the speed or RPM or gear.


What is the RPM needed to downshift a dump-truck?

It is not so much the proper RPM but the difference in RPM between gears. If you up shift at 1800 and going in next gear you are at 1200, then you have a 600 RPM split between gears. So downshifting you would be around 1200 and would while floating gears or double clutching bring the RPM's up to 1800-1900. Many trucks have RPM range stckers on the visors my old Mack was 1050-1750, that's a 700 RPM range, I would down shift when I hit 1050-1150, at 1150 I would have to bring the RPM's up to about 1850 to get it to go into gear.
