A Little Strange Feeling

[arntufun]

I have been keeping my brake foot forward more than normal lately. What is happening is when I'm downshifting (without brakeing). When I let the clutch out the brake pedel is coming up and hitting the bottom of my shoe. It feels like something is pushing the pedal up. What is this all about ??? :hun::dontknow:

I have had that happen, also. It only seems to happen when I downshift a bit too early.

And how is that???

 

[arntufun]

Ok, now I know that it is not isolated. Now, what is causing it ???

Clutches???

We don't need no stinkin' CLUTCHES! :roflblack:

I think it's 'feedback' from the ABS ---- or could be some 'judder' from minor warping ---- I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Reminds me I gotta order new brake pads.......

My guess would be torque twist in the engine/frame mounts. Downshifting causes temporary opposite torque in the mounts, particularly at higher speeds. JMG.

I guess that's why this past Sunday the fellow riding behind me initially said it appeared I was riding my brake. I was downshifting more since I was riding with others and the brake light kept coming on.

I couldn't understand why he was lagging so far behind me. After the first stop at the gas station, he made sure he was ahead of me. I also kept my right foot back after that.

I don't think so, it has to do with the pressure sensors.

I know one time I was ryding down a gravel road that had a really steep grade. I had to ryde the brake on the way down and keep it in 1st gear. The ABS feedback was pushing against my foot to the point it felt like I may not be able to keep the pedal down for too much longer. I made it to the bottom, let off the brake, and everything went right back to normal.

Thanks guys for the info. So I guess this is not abnormal, and The Spyder is doing what it is designed to do.
It is just one more thing my small brain has to process. :roflblack:

Maybe it's just your brake pedal reminding you that it's there and wants to get in on all of the fun too! :shemademe_smilie::shocked:

I respectfully stand corrected. Thanks Lamont. :2thumbs:
