Boging down lost power

[Marker]

I can drive 50 mph in 6th. The tach is running at 2850. If I need a surge of power--I only need to twist the throttle. The 1330 will "get up and go!" :yes:

:agree:

I think the beauty of the new engine and SE6 transmission is that there are no right or wrong shift points. I may shift at 3500nrpms while someone else shifts at 2500rpms the only thing that decides what shift is correct is the spyder. If the RPMs are too low for the next gear the spyder will not let you shift until the rpms are raised. I am not speaking about performance and shifting but just general riding and shifting. This is just my opinion and what I have noticed while reading the comments throughout this site about shifting gears in general.

Yup! :agree: It's not a "fussy" combination at all... :thumbup:

Hey Bob,
I didn't think this was a comparison thread or a 998 vs. 1330 thread. That's a whole different topic.
The guy simply stated that he wasn't all that happy with the performance of the 1330 and there are quite a few of us who have a similar view who haven't made the model change. Maybe BRP will change that.....

It's kinda sad how a lot of you jump all over someone when they don't drink the latest flavor of kool aide and agree with the herd. It's like a lot of you have to try to convince someone that they are wrong when they don't like something, or are under impressed. :sour:

Personally, I've found that both motors make mediocre, at best, power in stock form. Some of us even believe poor power stock. The 1330 is a slug and completely uninspiring motor. Like riding a tractor. However, if muling it up, lugging around in a single gear, not worrying about shifting, and being happy about slightly better fuel economy is your thing, then the 1330 will do the job just fine, especially with the SE tranny. Go get em'! :thumbup:

It's time for BRP to REALLY step it up!

When you've ridden the 998 and the 1330; it lends some perspective to the discussion.
I'm not bashing the 998s; I just like the 1330 better. nojoke
