Hi all", I am new to the Spyder

[peterRT]

Hi all", my name is Peter and I just purchased a Canam 2010 RT SE-5 Spyder and I was riding it to slowly in gears and i read on this website "do's and Don't for new Spyder riders. It seems weird to me riding it with the RPM's above 4300 in each gear but it rides smoother and none of that humming sound when in 5th gear now because I don't ride it in 5th gear unless I am on the freeway and the freeway has a speed limit of 110 KPh. I got a lot to learn about riding the Spyder.

regards Peter

I thought that was the biggest hurdle....getting used to running higher RPMs. It's all good from now on:yes:

:welcome: and :congrats: on buying your Spyder. I never did like the high-rev requirements of the 990 engine, but I loved ryding my Spyder. Now that I have a '14 with a 1330cc engine, I'm much happier . . . if that could be possible! :2thumbs:

Yes now that you have mastered the RPMs you will enjoy your Spyder a lot more. Post early and post often, we want know what's going on down there and welcome to this bunch of loonies.

So...does the high rpm's not apply to the 1330?

Hi Peter, best of luck with your new machine! :thumbup: What part of Australia are you riding? Probably never get there myself but, looking at maps and learning a bit is the next best thing. Not!

Correct, not necessary to turn the high RPM's with the 1330.

Correct, not necessary to turn the high RPM's with the 1330.

:agree: instead of shifting at 5,000 rpm and higher; try shifting at 3,000 rpm and lower... :thumbup:
