24 RT with a Delay in gear upshift, but not all the time - anyone else? Any fixes?

[rkoenen]

Randomly when I manually upshift there is a delay from when I press on the shifter to when it changes gears. Only about 1/2 a second but the timing is off and it is jerky. Only happens when upshifting. Will not happen all the time. Anyone else have this problem and what needed to fix it?

Does it happen when you are accelerating hard?

I am on my third Spyder (20,22,24) and all have done this occasionally while shifting up through the gears. A momentarily stumble, at least as I perceive it. It does not happen often enough for me to get concerned.

Mine does this also but I think it only happens when I get lazy and don't release the shifter crisply!

Have dealer or someone with BUDS2 perform the procedure to reset the clutch engagement points.

What RPM's are you shifting from, and you're holding the gas steady not rolling it, right?

I checked that in my BUDS2. I was gonna do it but it says only to do after installation of a new clutch pack. There is also re learn shift points which the manual says to do for erratic shifting. I checked this while no powervision tune on the bike and the instructions are to do it with the oil warm and the bike running.

Also after changing my HCM oil filter that has never been changed (32k) it definitely shifts better…..

I believe it was the fresh oil change that improved your shifting more than the HCM filter change!

I know mine gives a pretty good lurch when coming on to it and upshifting, rpm's around 6K ±. Coming out of a short on ramp for instance trying to get up to speed fast.

Even the old V-Twin SE5 would do it occasionally. Typically between the 1-2 upshift. So, it's not unique to the SE6 or any clutch re-learning.
