TRLBLZR1, There's a bunch of us here who ryde SE's from various years/with either motor who never seem to have any real troubles spinning the rear tire if we put our minds to it, but it could be that just like the rest of us, you actually hafta actively work to put your mind to it, as well as making sure the 'safety & performance features' on your Spyder aren't working against you!! :dontknow:
After a whole bunch of years training yourself & practicing NOT spinning your rear tire cos it's not good for control, it could just be that now you might hafta train yourself to break thru those learned responses & gentle touch in order to spin it up if that's really what you want to do?!? The muscle memory & fine touch that you've developed over the years to avoid losing traction might take far more conscious effort to overcome than you'd think in order to lose traction on the rear at will.... and then you'll still hafta avoid triggering any Nanny intervention! :lecturef_smilie:
It doesn't take very much steering deviation from 'straight ahead' at all before the Nanny will be working to stop ANY wheelspin that might throw an unwitting ryder off the road; neither are you likely to get any spin if you don't consciously push to get bloody close to wide open throttle before she starts working against you.... and that's just part of what she's watching like a hawk! The slightest hesitation on that throttle or the smallest tremble or deviation in the steering might just be all it takes to make the Nanny think you don't REALLY want that wheelspin! And you may not even feel/be aware of what she's doing or how she's intervening to stop it, but if you aren't spinning your rear tire when you feel you are trying, then the chances are that you aren't trying hard enough &/or that she IS in there doing something!! :thumbup:
