Clutch creep question

sscholle · Jul 5, 2013

Does anyone have advice for my RSV 1000 Tuono '06.

1. When i keep the clutch pressed for too long, the bike starts creeping and also prevents me fron getting into neutral.

At a guess I would say it's either air in the system or master/slave cylinder seals worn. Bleed the system first then go for whatever the cheapest option is next.

The reserve is on minimum and the service light just whent on. What should I tell the dealers to get a good service?

If your reservoir is low on fluid it must be leaking out somewhere and if you can't see it i would imagine it will be the slave cylinder seal that is by passing, this would cause the symptom you describe if you held in the clutch lever for any length of time with the fluid by passing the piston will start to move back and the clutch will start to engage causing the bike to creep even with the lever pulled fully in, check the slave cylinder by putting your hand underneath it and check for signs of leaking fluid if it is wet at all your seal is leaking and requires to be replaced
ps the fluid always goes black

Slave cylinder seal is an easy fix. Don't buy a genuine seal either, they're pence from a hydraulics factor. I found a size reference on a forum somewhere if you look. Tip, when you order, get 2 or 3.

Why is RSV clutch fluid always black? Why is the sky blue? No-one knows..............it just is.

I assumed it went black because of the seals going off, but yep, replaced mine with genuine aprilia seal, first ride fluid turned black,but its all still in there and no creepy clutch either. So win!
