Just got mine back last Saturday after having the clutch work done. Not only does it not stall out at stops anymore, it feels like it idles smoother now and and feels like it's got some get up and go power too. Only problem now is that my tach needle is stuck and my electric front trunk release doesn't work anymore. Techs hit a wire somewhere in there! No worries, going back in next week after I ryde the heck out of it first! :D

Just got off the phone with Carlo regarding a ST-1 helmet order and asked about parts availability for the recall and when I would receive my recall notice. I was informed that my RT SE5 Spyder was not part of the recall. My RT built date is 2010/04/19 and I took delivery May 14. I guess they must have started correcting the clutch problem sometime in April?

I do have some hesitation when shifting so is this a symptom of the clutch issue recall or something else?

Also, the bike never seems to want to go into neutral. I normally have to shift into R and then N to go to neutral. Is this an adjustment?

I am not a tech!!! But your symptoms sound nothing like what we experienced needing the recall.

Yours sounds like a sensor or computer issue. Both very easy fixes. Definitely call your dealer to get them on top of it :thumbup:
