• 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.

Downshifting with SE5

Now I do....

When I first got Ms Spyder dealer said that I never had to worry about downshifting just let the machine decide when is best .. so I did .. but after a year of following this advise I was becoming aware that the engine was sounding what I called "labored", not smooth...so thought wonder what would happen "if"....
I am now a converted down shifter....at least 98% of the time...once in awhile the tranny will beat me to 1st....I "hear" or see RPM's reach 3900/4000 and I shift it down a gear...everything sounds better and now I feel like I reallllly am ryding/shifting Ms Spyder...just like a REAL MC rider!!!! :yes::yes:
 
Does anyone manually downshift with the SE5, or do you let it downshift automatically? I have been manually downshifting because the RPMs seem to be too low.

I also manually downshift, coming from two wheels, it just seems natural to me. And reading other posts it seems to be the best way.
