Lemer ,Take your bike to the hill in question ,pretend that there is a mad dog that runs out and wants to eat your leg for lunch! Your in 2nd gear going up the hill @20 mph ,open the throttle ,and your speed barely increases ,the dog takes a chunk out of your leg, you were in the wrong gear! now start up the same hill either in 1st gear @20 mph or 2ndgear @30 mph when the mad mutt runs out you open the throttle and the bike pulls away briskly leaving the mad mutt breathing exhaust gas and your leg intact ,you were in the right gear at the right speed.You don't need to keep the bike at 3500 rpm ,you might be fine in 2nd gear at 20mph on level road(school zone) but not going uphill, your putting extra load on the motor(the hill) and you need to raise rpm to provide more power the closer you are to 3500 rpm the easier it is ,at 2200 rpm in 2nd your just beginning to make torque ,which makes it hard for the motor to increase rpm.
