My clutch on my 2012 Spyder RT SM5 is acting up. After the bike warms up and depressing the clutch lever at a fully stop. The bike wants to creep forward and when I release the clutch the bike dies. It is like it loses pressure. I have check the fluid is still good. Has anybody experienced this issue? :banghead:

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.

Clutch Slave Cyl. In clutch basket need rebuilding or replaced....
Also you might try bleeding clutch system first...

A little better description of your symptoms would help. What do you mean by the fluid is "good"? Do you mean the level is OK? Is is clear or is it black and cloudy? Is it hard to engage first gear when stopped? In any event, Freebob is probably on the right track in that your slave cylinder is acting up. First step is bleeding the system which may solve the problem. If not, then the slave cylinder probably needs rebuilt with all new o-rings and a very careful check for scoring or damage in the bore. It was not uncommon for the 998's to have the o-rings go bad. I had to have mine rebuilt twice in 40K miles. I'd get it looked at or work on it quickly. If the o-rings fail totally, you'll be stranded.
There is a TSB out for the tech's on revised procedures to follow when rebuilding the cylinder to help insure everything is lined up properly when it's put together. The clearances are very tight. If the piston is not aligned properly, it will score the cylinder and you'll shortly be right back where you are now.
