Senior Boarder Posts: 374 Re:slipping clutch 4 Years ago   I've fought the clutch adjustment thing for a couple of weeks myself. I had to replace the return spring on the clutch and managed to get the adjustment out of whack. Just keep tweaking the free play and you'll get it eventually.   Logged     Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #87655 rudedogg2 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Re:slipping clutch 4 Years ago   thanks I can put a quarter in between the lever before it starts to move the cable(that is what my dealer said)does that sound rigt for the 3mm?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #87661 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:slipping clutch 4 Years ago   The wrong type oil can make this clutch slip .....just something else to think about ....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #87668 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:slipping clutch 4 Years ago   You need to adjust for the lever free play when the bike is hot. Don't set it on a cold bike.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #88362 beefcake2play (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 286 Re:slipping clutch 4 Years ago   Back when I installed the 108" big bore kit on my 02 roadie (when I use to have it), also installed a Warrior Speedstar clutch spring....you won't notice any difference in the lever but my clutch wasn't slipping anymore. But you probably just have to adjust your clutch.   Logged     2008 Harley Crossbones.

I cheched the play on cluch, I could still put a quater in between before cable started moving. Clutch still slipping when I get on it hard or fast.(when passing or just hard rev)   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #88655 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:slipping clutch 4 Years ago   Are you in 5th gear when you try to pass?   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/26 19:42 By Musky.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #88661 rudedogg2 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Re:slipping clutch 4 Years ago   slips in 4th or 5th   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
