How smart is Nanny?
I drove my wife's SE5 home from the dealer Friday (solo) after installation of a Hindle exhaust, rear luggage and a passenger backrest. Throttle response was significantly different from what I remembered the last time I drove it.
Even with the handlebars straight, it seemed like the engine hit hard initially, then eased off to about 90 percent. Thus, keeping me from efficiently spinning the rear tire... nojoke
I have searched the owners manual and found nothing other than exhortations to be "careful with passengers..."
Does the Spyder "know" the backrest is installed and adjust available power accordingly?
Thanks!

The Spyder will know if you have a passenger on-- but no--- just having the backrest won't make any difference. There is a pressure sensitive switch in the rear seat.
