I saw this a few time in some other post's . You will see this on dynas and bagger most often. The problem is the ground cable to frame. The ground is not making a great connection due to paint so the clutch cable become the ground as well as the throttle cables. Use a star washer on the ground between frame and cable or scrape it clean and it will be ok however if has happened several times, then the cable will need replacing as well as the liner has been melted inside and the cable will always be stiff and drag. I have seen them smoking and owner keeps cranking on it!!!
