Just got my 09 Fat Bob back from the stealer today for 1k service. The clutch lever is a lot softer than it was before I dropped it off so someone has adjusted it.
Also noticed that I have a pretty bad clutch shudder when I let go of the accelerator can this be caused by a clutch lever adjustment?
They do the clutch adjustment at the 1st service. They always do,And even though I had adjusted it (clutch and lever) just days before the service ,and I'll add that it was exactly to my liking at that time,the guy still changed it and the lever was too tight! He left no slack at all!
What I mean by shudder - when you let go of the accelerator, the bike slows down but it feels like your clutch isn't gripping properly so it vibrates...does that make sense.
It's harder to describe than it is to feel.

no, it does not make sense
any vibration you may feel upon deceleration
is completely unrelated to the clutch
