    Default Owning my First Spyder F3, and drive experience.

    This is my first time owning a Canam F3 and I'm getting to drive it around. I noticed that when I'm trying to slow down from gear six, each time it goes to lower gear, I can feel almost like a soft choke from an engine to do so. I know that the bike itself is an automatic downshift, but it just not as smooth as I thought it would be. Would any of guys can confirm on this for me?

    thank you

    I think you'll find it working just the way it should. Some times it's like burping the gas on a down shift on mine, but for the most part not that noticeable! Make sure your oil levels up where it belongs, and put some miles on that bad boy

    I believe it is rev matching for its downshifts.

    I just bought a new F3 LTD and its my 1st trike. It's taking time to get use to it, but im enjoying it very much. I think a lot of the stuff is normal, but are things we dont normally feel on 2 wheels.

    That's how my F3T feels when it's auto downshifting.

    Don't worry, the automatic downshift is clearly noticeable / audible.
