Shifting Into Neutral on SE6

[Buggy]

If you look in your mirror and see a vehicle bearing down on you from behind, you're better off being in gear so you can take evasive action. I have a semi-automatic Spyder now, but when I was riding motorcycles with standard trannies, this was always my policy. I have personal experience in this myself, and so have a few of my friends. Back in 2010, eight of my friends were plowed into by a dump truck while sitting at a light here in Phoenix. Four dear friends died (three at the scene and one in the hosptital), three others were seriously injured, one with permanent brain damage. One of them saw it coming in his mirror and took evasive action, escaping unscathed. Having his bike in first gear saved his life.

If you ask me, I say always keep it in gear while at a light.

What a horrific situation. Sorry for the loss of your friends Pam.

I talked with my tech when I bought the F3 and he told me leaving it in gear at lights etc... is no problem with the 1330 motor SE6 trans. He said that the clutch on the new motor was designed with this in mind.
