Today I change out my clutch cable on my FXSTDI and after some trial and error(taking apart the trans cover three times) I got the old girl adjusted so that the slack was out of the clutch cable.

Here is my technical question. The clutch level doesn't disengage the clutch until the last inch of the level. Is this normal adjustment. I adjusted the clutch pack a half of a turn.

 

Subscribed. Same problem after adjusting clutch during regular service interval, so curious to see if anyone has the proper solution. Is this a clutch pack adjustment, or something that can be adjusted on the cable adjuster?

 

Not sure this is the issue but had a similar issue when I did not loosen the slack on the cable enough prior to adjusting clutch. Went back and loosened slack all the way prior to adjusting and everything fine.

 

Well, solved my own problem. I had the cable adjusting nut way too tight. My lever was firm to the end. Didn't have the recommended 1/16-1/8" slack in the lever. Went back and pulled the boot up and adjusted the cable nut a little until I had the appropriate slack. Went out and rode it and it is now engaging back in the sweet spot about 1/2 way out instead of 1" until full release. Didn't have to go back in and mess inside the primary. I'm a happy camper and it was a lot easier than removing 5 bolts and starting over.
