40 yrs backseat! Now Spyder front seat n loving it! Different dealers different information? I did read manual front -back. I printed out the info sheet on what gear - to RPMs I should be in! I know if I come to a light and I just step on brake, it will auto down shift into 1st! But I was told when I'm going up a hill I don't have to put it in 3rd or 2nd it will down shift it's self when it drops to a certain speed ???? I haven't seen that in the manual any where???? I down shift myself? What correct?

The will automatically downshift at 2500 rpms or so. That might be lugging it a bit if you need 2nd or 3rd gear on a hill. I usually manually shift down between 4000 and 3500 rpms to keep the in the powerband.

Whenever RPM drops to around 2500 the spyder SE5 automatically selects the next lower gear. Still, if you know you are going to need the lower gear, no reason not to downshift into it yourself.

your auto clutch is not fully engaged until you are over 3,000 rpm's. Under that will cause some slipping and premature clutch wear...do it yourself..!!
