Default Switched to Hydraulic, Adjustment Question

I switched to hydraulic actuation. Is the clutch adjustment procedure the same? If not, how should it be adjusted?

its my understanding the oil will lift the shoe and the ratchet dog will hold it up. So, seems you could lift with your finger to remove the chain play and ride it. The oil would fill the gap and if you are too loose the oil will ratchet up to the next notch..

I'm sorry but, I don't understand your response in regard to the Clutch Adjustment, Section 1.12, in my service manual.

Not sure how but for some reason I was thinking of the automatic primary chain adjuster.......Should have took more time to understand your original post was the clutch. Doesn't make sense to me either.

Anyone have a copy of the procedure to adjust a hydraulically actuated clutch from a manual?

My 2013 Harley Touring Manual only covers the clutch cable system. For 2013 only the CVO's had hydraulic. I thought I read somewhere the 2014's are all hydraulic. You need someone with a 2014 Harley Service manual for Touring.
