2012 rss se5 rolling while off in 1st gear??

[Tazzel]

I apologize, I was making a joke. But I assure you, I know exactly what I'm talking about with the Spyder, having ridden not only my own but other models (RT, ST) for three years now.




Did not sound like you were joking. People should be free to ask questions without someone chiming in to tell them how stuipd they are.

Well.... pps:
Dave might have jumped in on the "heavy" side.
But this is something that becomes pretty self-evident; quickly.
Let's back away from that portion of this one... :shocked:

That's what manual says but when shut down while in 1st it would not roll

It might not roll easily, but it *will* in fact roll if pushed or pulled firmly enough the clutch is free with the engine at idle or turned off... the only thing that will prevent an SE model from rolling are the wheel brakes (or rear parking brake) being applied. Since the parking brake can be disengaged (either intentionally or by accident by someone messing with it), it's always best to have the steering locked to 1 side or the other when parking these machines in a public area as well as the parking brake firmly applied. I always give mine a good firm tug on the rear grab handles before walking away from it. :thumbup:

So, you just never realized this before... not a big deal. I didn't realize for 9 months that I could open the frunk lid withing turning the ignition off 1st! Just when you think you know everything about the Spyder, you learn something new... lol!

Now, what does that S button on the dash do? And I can't figure out how to set the clock, again! Arghhh! :dontknow:

Cheers!
