Throttle position when shifting

[Formerharleyrider]

I have a 2019 spyder rt limited. When shifting I have been treating it like a centrifugal clutch.
Roll throttle off, shift, resume throttle when up shifting. Is this correct.

You don't have to, roll, hold, and shift when you reach right rpm! Easy pezzy!!!

[Spyderjuice]

Do you have the semi automatic?

[Ex Winger]

2019 RT limited only comes with semi automatic

No more roll on/ roll off. Just keep the throttle in the open position when you hit the shifter button. If you are in the right rpm range, you will barely feel the shift. 1330's like 3500 - 4000 for starters. You will find your sweet spot. I mostly let the transmission downshift on its own, unless I need more power NOW.

Thank you. I will give it a try on my next ride. Salesman did not have recommendation for me so I was rolling throttle off to shift.

Hold throttle steady and shift. The computer will do the rest.

It's really the same going up &/or down when you are manually shifting - the computer won't let you shift if you aren't in the right rev range for speed, even tho the 1330's have a reeeeaaaallly wide rev range/tolerance!

So all you need to do is think about which button to press, the + or the -

And if you are a little slack (like AR! ), if you stuff it all up completely, &/or if you just can't be fagged with pressing the - button, the computer has a 'fail-safe down shift' built in to protect the trans/engine to avoid any chance of you damaging things &/or lugging the engine/stressing a gear that's too high for your throttle input which is feeding in too much torque!

Whichever model Spyder you have, SE or SM, the gearbox is actually the same trans, it's just that the SE versions have an electro/hydraulic clutch & electric solenoid shifting that's being watched over by the computers so that you can't hurt anything!

Which means you can Ride More, Worry Less!

is unfortunately usually the case with sales people. & yet any & EVERY issue BRP tells us to go to dealer too bad they don’t teach everyone at the dealership.

Some may not agree with me, but I truly believe it is nigh impossible to equal the smooth shift sequence the computer will perform for you, when you do it manually. Keep everything steady and just hit the button. Let the computer do all the rest.

Just keep it steady don't rev it don't back it off, just hit the button when you reach the rpm you want to shift at.
