[QUOTE="RM_Dude, post: 140205, member: 24134"] I am a beginner and find that low to mid rpms in 3rd gear is sufficient for most jumps on my RM125. It seems I am now ready for the next level ,which in my mind is taking jumps in high rpms on the pipe. Have not tried this yet as I am trying to learn the brake tap really well first since that may very well be needed occasionally hitting jumps with high rpms. I'm thinking 4th gear pinned would be easy as the power of a 125 wouldn't be that extreme but I don't care to hit any jump going that fast. 3rd gear pinned seems pretty reasonable I think but I have a feeling it'll still try to loop out. On the pipe in second gear is what I really want to be capable of. It seems allot of jumps at the local track could be done in top of second gear. Middle of third would probably work but unless you want to shift gears on face of the jump it isn't going to happen because the run up is very short just out of a turn. I'm interested to see what some experienced riders can share about "on the pipe" jumping in second or third gear. [/QUOTE]
