It's actually rated at 7250. At 5000 torque is already falling and @ 6000 it's falling like a rock if you look at the dyno sheet.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
What RPM range do you stay in (mostly) 1330 engine?

106hp @ 8500 was the rating.

Engine Rpm Sweet Spot
Seems like most have the Spyder 1330 engine 'sweet spot = sp' already figured out. For me I use 3k - 3,5k as my 'sp' for upshifts. Because I have a SE6 I just keep it at that 'sp' and upshift as I hear the 'sp' and check.
For the downshifting, 90% of the time I let the Spyder do it's thing automatically..
I hope this helps you. That's my story. ..........:thumbup:

Ya it's all of that and then some!! I like the 998, and after reading this post I have been playing more with my shift points, and have found myself using 5th gear as like a over drive, because of my cruising speed. Most normally I putt at or around 50, that's a hard speed for 5th gear.

On our open road cruises to western KS and the plains my 15 RT spends most of the time singing along at 3300 RPM which is 66 MPH on open roads with the General Altimax 215/60 mounted in back. Wifes 16 F3T with larger rear sprocket is cruising at 3700 RPM.. we both get 40 MPG unless pushing a headwind or exceeding the 65 speed limit.
If we need to pass a truck or car, just a quick drop to 5th gear and roll the throttle to hit 4500 RPM and hit the torque curve for a quick pass, then tab back to 6th gear when clear and reset the cruise mode.
Secondary roads in the mountains are a mix of gears and RPMs as desired.

I agree with you. I am sort of a sunday driver heading for church. LOL. First thru 4th I shift at about 2200 rpms. Fifth I go into around 32 mph and about 2200 rpms also. I shift into 6th at 40 mph . I get about 36-40 mpg with the premium gas. I am happy with that. I don't like speeding and especially careful going around corners. LOL.
