• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

New Spyder Rider

Q

Questions

New member
I've owned many bikes over the years. Just bought a new Roadster RTS and have heard that I have to be very careful with the clutch. Seems that I should not down shift or use engine as brake because it's hard on the clutch. Is there any truth to this???? Please advise. I have the manual 5 speed. What rpm should I shift at normal running?

congrats on your new ryde. You have come to the right place for anything spyder. I have the mechanical clutch and there is no problem but you probably have the semi auto and those that know will do just that..let you know..!! :thumbup:
 
:welcome: do you have the semi auto? I have had 2 with manual transmissions and I often downshift and never had any clutch problems.
