clutch pull

I bought a new FXDC this winter and I can pull the clutch with 2 fingers! What's up with that? Even my old Sportster had a more manly feel to it. That's always been part of the appeal to me of the Harleys, the fact that they aren't for everyone. Oh well, I'm getting used to it but hope I'm not getting psyfied.

Not sure why anyone would complain about a clutch being easy to use...

RE: clutch pull

a Screamin Eagle clutch spring will cost you $30, give you better engagement, and will require a stronger pull.
2 beer install.

RE: clutch pull

changing the clutch spring is one of the best low-cost mods you can do.&nbsp\\; imho.
has a much better low-speed pull to it!

RE: clutch pull

Has nothing to do with the springs. It has been redesigned to lessen the amount of force needed to pul the lever. A lot of people would add this modification to their bikes so HD made it stock. Look up easy pull clutch kit.
