2010 RT SM5 no clutch pressure
I have 65,000 km on my 2010 RT SM5, went out all day Saturday and had no issues. I went to move the RT today and there is zero resistance on the lever and the clutch will not disengage and the bike stalls when put into gear. There is no fluid apparent on the ground or on any of the bodywork. This happened suddenly.

check your fluid level. It is probably low or out. if it is low, adding brake fluid might work. if not you will have to bleed your clutch line. I have to add a little fluid every summer. You also could have a damaged O ring in you clutch area. bruce

Add dot 4. Probably the O ring in the slave cylinder. Replace.

Start with the fluid
Have had issues like this , not loosing it all, but found the fluid was all but gone. Filled her up and all was good except for the fact is ran out of fluid and yet none spilled out..🤔 So a quick check showed the leak was from the slave...

It was quickly apparent with my 2011 as well. Take a look at my post about the condition of the fluid.
When was your clutch fluid last replaced?
