Hey SETHO, Whats that referance to Bonnieville? Are you planning to run the saltflats? If so I would love to see that, but I will be in Europe until Sept.

yep I am going with the budds on the end of august.

There is an inherent time lag for the SE to shift with no opportunity to powershift. You can hold the throttle position but there is a sequence that: aa solenoid that will roll back the throttle, disengage the clutch, fire the shift solenoid, re-engage the clutch, solenoid rolls the throttle back on - great for a paddle shift operation but not very efficient if the mission is to scoot down a 1/4 mile.

It is clearly audible on the videos. Anyone know of a way to alter the SE shift sequencing to improve times? Listing to the audio, might be worth a few tenths of a second.

I caught doc on every shift, and all the other manual spyder I have drag raced against have lost time on their shifts, I have not drove a sm spyder so I was not aware that you can powershift one. Why don't you come up on on August 3rd and race? Its a pretty fun time.

 

[AMTJIM]

Is there an ointment or pill for that? Is it contagious?

yep I am going with the budds on the end of august.

OH SETHO
It wasn't that long ago at the Missouri Rendezvous that your bike was judged by Lanonts trained eye and you got the winning score. Along with your first bike show win came the recoginization by your peers ---hands down you should have won.

I hope drag racing gives you that same winning feeling.
CONGRATS.

shifts like butter, runs smoother than ever, I wish I could get more power out of it. IF you want your spyder to run well and be tuned correctly, then I would tell anyone to spend the 550 for the autotune and the pc 5. The screen was kind of a screw job because the autotune adjusts the bike.

was a factory first, and a great day filled with 99 out of 100 outstanding spyder owners. The true strong roots of the dysfunctional spyder family.

:agree:
The SE will give you faster shifts all day long. The techs at BRP told me that years ago and I wasn't buying it till I tried one. If you want to race go with the SE. nojoke

Sure, the shifts are instantaneous, hard to duplicate with a manual clutch..
