Lupe -

I'm in Muskogee so I am sure I can give you stupid answers. :roflblack:

Seriously if you need any help with getting to know your bike feel free to ask. Who'd you buy it from?

 

[Mexican]

WOW !!!! I did not expect this welcome !!
Thanks guys!! i think i'm gonna like it here !
I just got my tag today and im giong for a ride, anything i should be aware of?
and do i let off the gas when shifting? some guy told me that i can shift with the throttle wide open but it just don't seem normal.
Again guys, thanks for the warm welcome:2thumbs:

 

[Mexican]

:welcome: shifting and not letting off the throttle makes for a smoother shift. :2thumbs:

Wow, i tought it may hurt the engine!!!
If it is normal then i won't worry about it anymore,
Thanks

Shifting is something you'll learn. I try to keep the RPMs steady or even allow them to drop a bit when shifting to higher gears. You do not want the engine to race to high RPMs while you pull the clutch in. That's hard on the clutch.

Have fun & be very safe.

HI Mark,, i forgot to mention,, i got the semi auto version, it was weird at first because i kept reaching for the clutch and the front brake.
Also what is the safest way to get in reverse??? sorry i sound so stupid but yesterday i had trouble figuring it out:dontknow:

One last thing, is there a motorcycle thread anywhere?? i would like to see what spyder lovers ride besides the monster,
I own a triumph rocket3
a honda dn-01
a cbr 1100 blackbird
a ninja250
and the spyder:thumbup:

With the SE5, you can shift without throttling back. :thumbup:
