Throttle position when upshifting question

[1Vetteman]

I recently traded my Harley Freewheeler for a 2022 RT and have a question on throttle usage when upshifting.

Do I rolI off the throttle when upshifting or maintain the position so the RPM’s don’t drop? I’m still getting used to using my thumb and index finger to shift instead of my foot!

maintain the RPMs, don't drop off

Keep the throttle steady up or downshifting and the computer will do the matching for you.

As already spoken. Just hit the paddle and the Spyder does the rest. You will actually hinder the upshifting process if you blip the throttle. You may have to retrain yourself for that. Same for downshifting. The Spyder tends to downshift late. I almost always downshift before the auto process kicks in since I want to use engine braking.

Shift points around 4000 rpm, up, down ether let it roll for itself or like Ron said you can use it for braking if you want! It will tell you if it's not right by not giving you what you're asking for! Nanny will keep the machine safe; you just have to listen to her! hold the throttle still and flip!
