• 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.

Picked up my SE5 today. The ride home was crazy, strange looks from everyone. Free from manuel clutch, what a big difference, se5 auto down shifts when stepping on brakes. Will install hindle today.:2excited:
 
It downshifts automatially if you brake gradually, but seems to have a broblem on qiuck stops, stays on the 3rd ot 4th. Took it bck to the dealer today, they will look at it on Tue.
Any Ideas?

Try using the downshift button for quick stops....it probably can't click down fast enough automatically. Are there any special instructions or precautions in your owners manual?

There is nothing in the manual. I will try to use the downshift button, the strange thing is that it stays on the high gear after a complete stop, so I have to start driving on the 3 rd someimes, it goes but the display shows "error". Pressing the down shift button does not change gears while stopped. Let's see what the dealer says on Tue
Thanx

It's possibly showing "error" because the machine is standing still and the computer knows that it isn't in 1st gear.

If I make a stop on my manual transmission Spyder without downshifting, well then it's pretty well stuck in that gear as long as I'm standing still. (If you've ridden motorcycles before, then you're probably familiar with this). That's a normal function of a sequential trans. To get it to downshift I have to inch ahead and push and release the shifter while working the clutch one gear at a time until back in 1st.

The semi automatic uses the same trans as the manual, it's just actuated electronically and uses an automatic clutch.

Try rolling ahead slowly and clicking the downshift button while moving ahead....it should shift once you are moving.

hope this helps...

Same here. I can sometimes get the tranny to downshift one gear while stopped but it is just a lot better to be downshifting while stopping, no matter how quickly you are braking. You would want to be doing this in an emergency maneuver anyways. If you had to slow down very quickly to 15 mph and then speed up again almost as quickly, you don't want to still be in 4th or 5th gear.

OH NO!!!! and I just made a comment about the SE5 being available in the US of A and not in Canada yet! That was in regards to the "First SE5 in TN" post
