Default 2007 800 X2 creeping forward/back at idle?

I have about 20 hours on my 800 X2 deluxe (has EBS and ADC), and recently changed to the Dalton orange with blue strip primary spring since I went to 26's. After riding for about 60 miles over the weekend, the quad now creeps forward or backward in low and reverse at idle. It does not do this in high. Could the new spring be causing this? Any other ideas? I really like the slightly higher engagement since installing the Dalton, and it worked fine at first - so I'm not sure if it has caused this or if it is something else. It is still under warranty, so should I switch back to the stock spring before taking it in if I need to? I have read about some of the other causes of creeping (belt alignment, motor mounts, etc.), and nothing has mentioned the primary spring, so I want to rule that out as I'm sure the dealer will blame it on that. Thanks, Ron

I can't imagine the clutch bushing worn out with 20 hrs. but I can see a broken motor mount causing this especially with clutch kit and 27" tires. The front lower mount is weak as is.

YEAH THE HIGHER ENGAGEMENT IS A LITTLE HARDER ON PARTS SO I,D LOOK AROUND+YOU BETTER REMOVE THE SPRING CAUSE DEALERS WILL LOOK FOR ANYTHING NOT TO PAYOUT.
