There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
SE5 Shift Delay after shift paddle is pushed

Are you just quickly tapping the shifter? If you push too long it thinks you want to shift more than one gear and may just not shift.

This is probably a silly question, but it pays to look at the simple stuff first. Are your revs high enough? If you try to short shift, at too low an rpm, the Spyder will not shift until the rpm is sufficient. Short shifting while accelerating can cause such a problem.
SE Shift
I had an '09 RS-SM. I am not the "Ride it like you stole it" kind of rider. When I left the dealership with my RTS-SE I hit the paddle to shift and it wouldn't. That was the first time on an SE for me. After talking to the mechanic I was told that I wasn't turning enough RPM's for it to shift. After I left the dealership I cranked it to about 3500, hit the paddle and got a positive shift. After about 400 miles, it seems to me that the higher the RPM's the more positive the shift. Just my experience.

:agree: And the good part is when you shift at the above suggested RPM,s you stay well ahead of traffic!
OE is often similar the actions of an accidental loose nut behind the handle bar:2thumbs::roflblack:
I have noticed similar problems on my bike when downshifting too far at a stop light. It seems the OE factor causes the transmission to be in neutral which is embarrassing when the light goes

It has also been known to rev the engine only to have the SE5 lurch forward a little, as it was in first gear when someone thought it was in neutral.

That was just me speaking from personal experience; however, I cannot truly believe that I am the only one who has ever done it.

I thought I answered that with my earlier post: OE is often similar the actions of an accidental loose nut behind the handle bar!

here's another nickle's worth: our dealer told us we'd get best performance & gas mileage if we ran/shifted the Spyder around 4600rpm . . . so far so good. :thumbup:
As service bulliten just came out about this. Contact your dealer. They will have to reset the Gear Box Position Sensor (GPS). I just seen it on BRP's dealer site this morning.

I had to think about that for a while. I used to play pinball ( real ones, not the computer ones ) a lot and shifting my SE5 came very natural. Tomorrow when I go out, I will have to try giving it a "press" and see what happens.
Glad you got it solved, sometime OE problems are the toughest to work through.
