    Default SE5 Upshifts

    I have noticed that upshifts on the SE5 seem to be a bit jerky most of the time. I have found that ''feathering'' the throttle just before shifting up seems to smooth it out. Any else with an SE5 notice this?

    I have an SE and just keep rolling the throttle on the upshifts. Very smooth. Now downshifts while sloing is a disappointment.. Sometimes stalls or lurches forward.

    I have also noticed the jerky effect of the upshifts on my SE5. Feathering the throttle just a bit smooths shifting out very nicely. Any one experience a engine stall while waiting for a light to change. It would not restart. Had to "reboot" the system by shutting down and then it restarted, ....thanks Mickc
