Why Doesn't CLU Visit Flynn Earlier?
In Tron : Legacy, When Quorra initially rescues Sam she tells him that Rinzler and co. can't follow them off the grid. But then when Quorra and the Fylnns go back into grid city, CLU and his cronies show up at Flynn's house.
It seems like Quorra meant that they couldn't go off the grid via land vehicles, so assuming that is the case, how did CLU suddenly know where Flynn was hiding out? Why didn't he just go there many cycles ago with a small army and get Flynn's disc?
Best Answer
CLU discovers Flynn's hideout by tracing the signature left behind by Sam when he takes his father's retro-lightcycle into the 'city'. The elder Flynn actually berates his son for this mistake when he catches up with him.
As for why CLU didn't try to get him many cycles ago, the limitations of their vehicles, plus the 'hidden entrance' of Flynn's hideout (recall the scene when Quorra seemingly drives through a rock face) must have kept CLU at bay all this time.

1 cycle = 20 years grid time = 7.3 days real time is at the moment the MOST Canonical converstion.How did quorra become human?
Quorra ultimately had her wish granted when she accompanied Sam on his journey back to the real world, apparently becoming a flesh-and-blood human in the process, and happily set off with Sam as he showed her the wonders of the physical world. She is flesh-and-blood human in real world.How did TRON: Legacy end?
The ending of Tron: Legacy is about escaping the very spectacle and experiments on display. In order to let his son get through the portal back to the real world, Flynn absorbs CLU back into himself, destroying them both since CLU makes it clear there will be no compromise or reconciliation, and that he's a lost cause.How does Tron became rinzler?
In TRON: Uprising, Tron was forced to adopt the name and appearance of Rinzler after his battle with Clu, using the disguise to avoid capture as most programs believed that he was dead. This disguise would become permanent after Clu finally captured and reprogrammed Tron into Rinzler.Why Doesn’t Yeat Say Nigga

Answer 2
The question isn't exactly accurate. Quorra didn't say they couldn't go off the grid - just that they could not follow them. When she rescues Sam, they jump the vehicle across a canyon and switch the vehicle into all-terrain mode. The light cycles that were used in the games could not follow them or make the jump, but CLU has no problem traveling into the badlands or other parts of the grid.
Flynn was not hiding off the grid. He was hiding in the badlands which was outside the city. CLU didn't know where Flynn was because he disappeared after the war. Staying in his hideout, his approach to fighting CLU was to do nothing.
Had CLU known about Flynn's whereabouts he would have gone there and forcefully taken Flynn's disk (but he could not kill him, as the two were the same). Since Flynn had disappeared, CLU tricked Sam into entering the grid in order to get Flynn to expose himself.
CLU was able to trace the light cycle back to the hideout, because light cycles leave a trail behind them. It's this trail that is used to create a wall of glass in the games. Had Sam used a different vehicle then maybe CLU wouldn't have been able to retrace its path.
Answer 3
Er... The programs trace the light cycle back from its original location. I'm assuming that the bike has some kind of GPS system which explains why sam was able to find Zeus so easily.
