How high ?

I'm sure this must have been asked before but. What have you set your upshift lights at? Mine are :- Green 6750, Yellow 7250 and Red 7750. I'm sure it hits 8000 though before you feel the lunge. (I must point out I've only lunged once though). If you've got it nailed to the floor and you see the green by the time you've gone to change up it's spot on 7750. Any preferences anyone ?

Blimey, I have green at 3000, (use as a warning when the engine is cold and motorway cruise )
Amber is @6300
Red is @6500

In normal driving I don't see any of them, well maybe the green briefly.

On the track I didn't see much point going over 6500, not to mention lot's of revs means you will wear the engine out sooner.

Think mine are still on the original settings of 6500/7000/7500.
Seen no reason to change them. The red light seems to give enough warning to change up before 8000.

6,000 - 6,500 and 7,000 on mine.

By the time the green light comes on I'm getting ready to change up and when giving it some I tend to do this just as the red light comes on.

Not so much with these greasy roads though.

I changed mine down to 2500, 3000 and 3500 during my first 1000 miles which was a good reminder for me to behave myself whilst running the engine in.

Think i have mine set at 5000, 6500, 7500. But they seem to come on a lot sooner than they should?? Wasn't there a thread about this recently?

Yes, I had mentioned it and we all decided it was due to the cooler weather meaning the oil temp was dropping off again on a fast run. Mine was dropping to 45ish deg on a v fast motorway run so the lights were coming on around 1,000rpm early.

After my recent service the oil temp seems to stay up at around 50-55deg on similar high speed jaunts, but even with the oil temp over 60deg I have noticed the change up lights coming on early sometimes (but not always). Must be something to do with the cold weather ...

Peak power and torque are at about 6800rpm - so there's not much point going way over that as the power is dropping anyway. By 7200 power is roughly the same as at 6500 - IIRC from my powergraph.
