New Spyder Rider

[Questions]

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.
