So thats where shifting at different revs helps, for example: shift into second at 3k rpm, then hold out to third until around 5k rpm, and keep changing around it for each gear. So there isn't really an exact rpm to up-shift as long as its a wide range of revs and doesn't over use the same rpm for each gear. Did that make sense?

Yep, Will try this now. Also should I be doing the same for downshifting?
