I did everything as suggested but nothing changed. Maybe this was like this before I tore it down to install the big bore kit and never noticed. I fired up the bike and rode it. All shifting seemed okay. I still don't understand why it doesn't freeroll when in gear with the clutch lever pulled in. I'd again like to thank everyone for your replies. It's great to have somewhere to go when you need a little help.

It's a wet clutch. With cold oil in between the plates the clutch will drag. It will roll but it'll take a lot of effort. Either put it in neutral or turn it on and it'll move without effort.

 

Yes. Was easier to roll in gear when it was hot. Just probably never noticed it before. Was getting ready to fire it up for first time after winter rebuild and just looking to make sure everything was okay. Thanks again, on to newer problems now.

 

Stiggy how tricky is this task i think i've got this problem...clutch adjustment and clutch is not engaging after tightening cable adjuster.... I am worried about getting out of depth. Thanks.

 

You beat me to it...+1

 

Stiggy will i be able to put the ramp back to 6 oclock without removing the reatainer spring? Thanks.

 

You should be able to ... the pressure from the clutch spring (on the opposite side of the bike) is what keeps the ramp in position ...

 

why the hell was the ramp out to put in a clutch spring? it WILL NOT work move when pulled in, roll to any dealer and try it...wet clutch...

 

this happend to my buddys dyna when he did his bar swap, the clutch was cold and sticking from adjusting it all.....it was fine after starting it....

 

Not to bust any one's chops but, I didn't go to MMI to work on HD's, but I think the picture of the the clutch release cover is upside down. First clue, the dipsick, it usually comes in from the top.
