i have a 2012 street glide with 11000 miles i adjusted the clutch it shifts fantastic the trans feels great but my clutch cable is tight .if i loosen the cable then i have way to much free play thanks for any info you can give me

 

Have you had your 10k service done yet? If not, I would tell your dealer when you do. Your cable when adjusted properly should have a dimes width (thickness) of play up by where the cable meets the clutch lever on your handle bar.

 

thanks thats not the problem the problem is that the clutch lever is super hard to pull in

 

Just how did you go about adjusting the clutch?

 

i followed the instructions from the shop book i dont get it like i said the trans shifts great but the clutch is hard to pull in if i add slack then its to much play

 

Was the hard lever pull hard before you adjusted it? Describe what you read in the manual and then the exact order you carried it out on the bike for clutch adjustment.

 

it wasnt hard at all to pull in .it all started when i lubed my clutch cable

 

Guess you need to review that process. I know it's in the service manual to lube the cables, but it really has not been really necessary in a long time. The cables slides in a teflon/nylon sheath surrounded by the outer case. My 04 cables have never been lubed and are fine at 42K. When you accessed the cable at the lever to lube, did you get the nylon sleeve back in correctly? You still did not say how you adjusted it clutch so I can under stand what you mean by too much play in the cable. You only need about 1/16" of play, and this probably has nothing to do with a hard to pull lever. Did you adjust the free play at the clutch behind the derby cover first?

 

What did you do to lube it? There may be some small detail of how you lubed it that has caused this.

 

hey thanks for the the info you guys are probley right some small detail ill check it out tomarrow thanks for the info ill let you know what i find
