Finally got it done (the recall from last year and this current recall) and still feels the same, maybe releases a little later and a little stiffer, but not by enough to really say definitively. I haven't had my left hand grip sensor calibrated in a while

Been wondering if this is the reason why my first one didn't stop till I hit the side of the car that turned in front of me. Maybe that's why the insurance company hurried to settle I don't know. Now with the new one I had to get put on a waiting list to get done considering the dealer said it was minus 300 units when it when to order one for my bike. Hopefully it gets changed before this one turns to writeoff2015 lol.

I had hydraulic clutches on three of my metric bikes and never had any problems with either of them.

Default Really..... California!

Fruck California. It says it only happens when you don't ride, which is basically all of California! Well I don't live there and I have 38k on my 14 ultra. Sorry, but if you've got almost 30k to spend on one of these and don't ride it, the clutch is the least of your problems! 15 months with 38k miles. You do the math!

Has nothing to do with stopping or the breaks. It's a clutch thing.
All they do is clean out the clutch and need it and replace the O rings...
They say what might happen is when starting in gear the bike could jump, or not be able to shift.....
I have had two recalls so far, I'm sure there will be more.

When I go to my profile on HD's site to check, the little Harley clock just spins and spins. Anyone else having this problem? I have no open recalls showing but can't open any of the closed recalls, two of which were clutch recalls and the third being the brake line under the tank. I guess I should call my dealer to make sure but I've already had two clutch recalls on my bike. Surely this can't be a third, can it?

For the spinning Harley clock, try accessing the website with a different browser.

And yes, this is the 3rd clutch recall. First one was the no ride recall, second was late summer 2014 and was for replacement of the piston in the master cylinder, now this one. My limited was built in January 2014, I got hit with the 2nd clutch recall (and the brake line one), but not the current recall.

If you can't open the recall section of the website, your dealer can let you know, or sooner or latest you'll get a notice in the mail
