question about riding

[El Dorado]

Im pretty new to my Spyder but have about 750 miles in a month so far on my '15 RT-S. when driving a bit fast in some twists what will occur first.... inside front wheel lifting, or rear tire want to break a bit ? To me when I am powering through a turn it almost feels like the rear wheel wants to drift a bit......just trying to figure what I can expect when I might push it a bit to hard

It depends on your steering input. nice and slow and steady the rear should almost get loose and the nanny stop it. Jerky hard input will cause the tire to try and lift. Again the nanny should stop it before it lifts.

Here's the thing....

Two things will happen...one the nanny may retard ignition and your spyder will sputter and loose power or she will apply the brakes putting an end to the airborne wheel (if any) or slowing you down and keeping you between the lines. :roflblack::banghead:

All of the above posts are accurate. I have had my spyder on two wheels, it takes fairly severe and abrupt input though.

Obviously there are varying degrees of severe. Had mine for 3 weeks and haven't managed to make an aqaintence with Nanny yet. Must try harder.

Nanny is there to save your butt. nojoke
But there are limits to the stupidity that even she can correct.
If you're pushing it that hard: think about the folks that'll be visiting you in the Hospital! :shocked:

It may sound like I am being wild, but my whole life I have pushed everything to the limit. I have already learned to be very smooth on the handlebar input, far from jerky or uncontrolled and certainly not stupid. What Im referring to is actually very subtle feeling about the rear tire feeling like it's starting to slightly getting loose especially when increasing power through the turns. Being new to 3 wheels I'm just asking for input, not trying to get crazy. Where I live in the Mountains there are not many straight roads and constant twisties are the norm.

It sounds like the babysitter system will not let me get to push it beyond what it thinks is safe.
Dave, I'm up in the mountains out of Auburn, Sierra Sue, that is exactly what m talking about, thanks

Push too hard in a corner, and Nanny will start reducing power to the rear wheel, and applying the brakes as She sees fit.
It's supposed to catch us before we do anything monumentally stupid. nojoke

...Supposed to... :shocked:

Have only experienced "nanny" two times. Both were hydroplaning issues, and now I have that figured out. Don't drive through inches of water an + 55. :thumbup:

Had a bunch of :ani29::spyder2::f_spider: and what I think are a respectable amount of miles since 2008. I like my rides conservative, but will not criticize those who like to push the envelope a bit. :yes:
