Imaginary

Lately it seems Pyder has been creeping forward at a stop more than I have seen previously. Roadster is a 2011 SE with a out 64 k miles. Is there an adjustment I've missed? Maybe just a matter of perception..seems like it takes more brake to sit still and shudders like let's go already. What say you all?

Not familiar....

with the SE but it seems you have an oil related problem (old oil, low oil, wrong oil) or a clutch related problem...start with the oil....:thumbup:

Has your idle RPM changed?

Like Jerbear said, check your idle RPM and throttle spring

Although we had a 2011 SM5 I remember the throttle hanging up a little and not letting the throttle to spring back to the 1300 RPM set point. I just pulled the end cap and sprayed a little silicone spray inside the right grip and it was working well when we traded up at 76 K.

Pandy:

You should be idling around 1400 RPM. At that RPM the Spyder should not be creeping, even without the brake applied. The SE5 clutch has two engaging mechanisms. The first is centrifugal, controlled by RPM. The second is by spring pressure that is released by hydraulic pressure. If you are creeping at idle speed, there is a problem with the centrifugal portion of the clutch.

:agree: & got to ask is the creeping at all stops or just after getting past a certain gear
(like 3rd& above)& downshifting? :dontknow: Also do you downshift or let it happen? Notice anything on steep hills? Few things to troubleshoot & ask a certified tech. :thumbup:

 

[Pandy]

Creeps at all stops,regardless of what gear,whether I downshift or the Roadster does. Aside from oil related,springs in centrifugal part of clutch going weak? Hmmm.

A 2011 with 64k miles, have you thoroughly checked your brakes?

That's great... but we can't help you, if you don't let us know what rpm your bike is idling at... :banghead:

I check my brakes every time I stop . Haven't noticed any change in idle,I'll look shortly.
