Tranny Question

[Gedge]

Hi all, I've had my 2019 F3 Limited for about a month now. It has about 1100 miles on it. I've noticed in the past couple weeks or maybe when I got it, just didn't notice, that it takes more twist of the throttle to get her moving when first started, but she goes and shifts just fine when warmed up. Has anyone else noticed this and should I be concerned?

Thanks Gedge

My 2018 F3-T is the same way. Takes a bit more throttle when cold to get moving, but once warmed up all is well. Mine has done it since I bought it new. I believe it is normal.

When the engine is cold the internal oil temp may affect how the HCM functions, perhaps slowing just a bit the lock up of the clutch. Just a WAG.

:agree: ... I have a 14 RT ... and if cold it is initially sluggish about moving ..... as it warms up this dis-appears ..... Mike

This is why it is why it's best to allow the engine to warm up while putting on your gear. I warm it until the first coolant mark appears.

Normal....oil has to circulate thru wet clutch.

Relation of the Throttle Position sensor and the fast idle at cold start. You will note a greater twist needed when cruise is set too

No need to warm up just start your Spyder and go
