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 going out on SE5

Is the problem slipping, disengage, or engagement.? This can also be caused by the HCM (hydraulic control module). Try Lamonster he may know the cost.

I think it's about $450 if your dealer does it.
Just curious, but how many miles did you get out of your clutch?

It's my wifes SE5 and only has about 13k miles. I ride it much harder than she does so I am the one that has to pay to fix it lol.
It creeps at a stop...will not stay stopped, just wants to keep going. Also, when I am riding it harder and up-shifting, it over revs...like a slipping clutch would do.
It's not the clutch, Most likely Its the Control Module. Do a search it was a common problem a while back.
A bad clutch will not creep at a stop,

It looks like a HCM (hydraulic control module) problem, maybe the clutch modulation solenoid, oil pressure problem, or dirt in the system. The creeping when you are stopped, are the rpms less than 1700 rpm? If so HCM most likely is the problem. That's IMHO.

Thanks Mike,
it's comforting to know I should not have an actual full on clutch repair on my hands!
I'll drop it off at the dealership and hope for the best.

If its the needle bearrings, it should still be covered
I'm curious if y'all had the needle bearings replaced on these machines. On our 2010 RT-S SE5, we had it for 9 days before it started having the issues your describing here. We came to a stop sign & I motioned to the guy in the crosswalk to proceed, believing the Spyder would stop & I actually ended up (almost) hitting the guy. He had to push his hand off the frunk lid or we would have hit him, albeit at maybe 2 mph. BRP did a safety recall on this problem & that corrected it for our machine. We traded that one for Teds Red Sled which is a 2011 RT-S SE5 & we never had the issue with this one. Even if its out of Warrantee, if this is the problem, since it was a safety recall, I'd think it should still be covered. I know we reported ours to the NHTSA along with many others, hence the Safety Recall. Hope it all works out for you.

Barnes in Brandon pulled the cover off and said a quick visual indicated the plates look fine, but when I take it back in which will be the next day or two, I will let them diagnose it further as they will have more time to spend on it. They did not mention a recall on the issue, so I wonder if there is some recall # or something I can give them to look up?
Ill provide a follow up once they tear it apart again. FYI, a full clutch repair cost over $600
