What a site! There's enough to keep me busy even on a holiday weekend.

My new Significant Object is indeed a DX. I'm going out today and
checking the shift points with the revs - that should give me the
recommended RPMs.

I'll go ahead and order the original shop manual from Helms - I got used
to the Haynes for my Toyota and my bikes' shop manuals have always had
lots of pictures, while Chilton seems to go with the 1,000 word theory.

Thanks for the shift points and the great site reccomendations.
