    Default 09 se5, wont move till 5k

    I recently picked up an 09 se5. It had been sitting for a few years as the original owner had passed away. It currently is sitting at 2800 miles. I just changed the oil, filters, and oil pressure censor (due to po520 code). The issue Im having now is that it will not move till I get it up to 5 to 6k rpm. It doesnt matter if its in 1st or reverse. Im thinking a clutch issue but dont just want to start throwing money at it. Any ideals?

    Well at least you know the engine isn't seized …. imho there is something not right about the clutch …. you should start moving 300 rpm's above Idle ….. Mike

    After doing some research it looks as if the clutch plates are the probable cause. I guess with the way the clutching system works on these that you want to keep them above 4k or you will burn up the plates. sucks that I just changed the oil and now Im gonna have to tear it apart.

    Do any aftermarket companies make a clutch kit for these things? I am getting very limited results and prices around $600. That is ridiculous for clutch plates considering you can change a clutch on most bikes for under $200

    I think someone used different after-market clutch plates , but that was a long time ago ….. try cheapcycleparts.com for new plates …. Mike

    and even then you will be slipping. Could have been a problem for some time not knowing the previous owners ryding habits.... There are the Barnett clutches which are a good clutch but have no Idea of the cost. Used them in many a bike and if new clutch was needed that is where I went....

    What oil did you use?

    Did it slip before you changed the oil?

    It is commonly repeated that you have to keep a semi above 4,000 rpm or you will burn out the clutch. That is not true. Another exaggerated myth. The actual clutch stall speed is 3,200 rpm. So prolonged running below 3200 in fifth gear can overheat the clutch. Just so you have more accurate information to work with.

    I have the same questions as Bajaron above.

    If it only has 2800 miles on it I would take it to a mechanic. You could wind up throwing away a lot of time and money,that an experienced mechanic can help you with.IMHO.

    I wasnt able to find it on barnett, that was my first thought. The factory makes a kit thats different from the original to deal with this problem

    Did you install the clutch plates yourself or are there instructions on how to do it?
