Default clutch recall work

I had recall work done on my 15 RG and got it back from the dealer this past weekend. Today I rode it to work for the first time since the work was done. I am noticing a tremendous difference in the before and after. finding neutral is 100% better and shifting is a LOT smoother. Anyone else feel that way after they had the recall work done on their Harley?

I had recall work done on my 15 RG and got it back from the dealer this past weekend. Today (as in 11/25/2015).

I ride daily weather permitting.

You didn't say when you had the work done? If your an infrequent rider you should Ride more and then tell us the same thing!

My riding buddy has a '14 FLHX and told me almost the same thing after he had the recall work done. He said he didn't know how bad the bike was until he got it fixed.

I am wondering did they change the fluid and adjust the clutch doing the recall. it really is a big difference.

Well there is a little story behind this. I bought and took delivery of my bike AFTER the recall was issued. I specifically asked my salesman (who I have know personally for a few years) did they do the recall. he said absolutely it was done. I get a call about a week ago saying they needed to do my recall work. they came and picked up the bike and brought it back to me free of charge (basically telling me that yeah we screwed up). no harm no foul, **** happens and I was not about to throw my buddy under the bus on his job.
