    Default Intuitive Tranny

    I was down at the Spyder in the Hills Rally in Boerne Tx. yesterday to
    get Lamonster Led headlights, a exhaust system and to see the sights
    and sounds of my first rally. Met a lot of friendly people with some
    very nice scoots. There was a pavilion up from the hotel where the
    venders were set up with a good crowd doing business. Spyderman
    Exhaust installed my new muffler and had me on my way in no time.
    During this time a couple of us were chatting with a Can Am Tech about the
    semi auto tranny and he made the statement that the tranny was a intuitive
    learner and that if you always pulled away softly that after awhile the tranny
    would start to apply less oil pressure to the clutch for a softer engagement
    and that if you were more aggressive with the throttle, greater oil pressure
    would be applied to the clutch. I generally would roll into the throttle gently
    when pulling away and sometimes it would feel like the clutch was slipping
    or the tire was spinning. I now know better!! Also Lamonster LED lights are
    outstanding and the Spyderman Exhaust really does the job for me.

    The Rally seemed to be well organized and from what I could tell,
    the runs went off well and was enjoyed. I will be back next year.

    Great info! Answers some questions I had about why mine always seamed to slip on take off. The first 5,000 miles I had mine was towing a trailer with very soft starts, so that makes since. I can't ever spin my tires on takeoff because it feels like it slips.
    Is there a way to reset that and then retrain the tranny?
    It will be in the shop for the compressor so is that something that could be done with the Buds system?

    If it is intuitive, it will be constantly monitoring, so harder starts would eventually set up a parameter for a quicker lock-up.

    Very, very cool, BTW!

    Default Interesting....

    Did not know that but did that it stores a lot of information. I recently found out I spend 35% of the time between 6 and 8,000 rpms (that may be considered speeding..) That may be why flashing someone elses ecm may not be the best Idea....
