Default 07 softail clutch problem
Hi all, my clutch was working great, put screamin eagle oil in, still working great. Bolted up my 6 inch riser bars and new HD clutch cable and since then have never been able to get the clutch adjustment right.. Ive adjusted the clutch a dozen times.. Cable is seated correctly in clutch cover... Im baffled how to proceed ... Any tips would be great !!

Adjust the clutch and then the cable. If that doesn't work, make sure the cable is routed correctly into the ramp.

What is the problem with the clutch, slipping not dis-engaging?
