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?

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.

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

Mike hyea: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.

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

Bummer.....
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....:spyder:

Will the bike roll easy when in neutral?

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
yes, alot easier than I thought it would honestly for its size
I have a mechanic buddy that use to work at can am. He took it for a test ride and said it is definitely a clutch issue. whether it is the clutch plates or the syntrifical is the question
