RE: clutch issues
Good luck with your clutch, I am having the same problems myself. I am at a loss to ID the problem. The next thing I am check in the primary chain play. I read that if it is too tight it can cause problems.
Please post updates on your results.
Vin info can be found here. Can't always trust the KickStart / starter rule. I think XL's came with both and people added starters to CH's.

First two digits of the Harley VIN are the model code.
3A = XL or XLH 4A = XLCH 4E =- XLS 2G = XLT 4D = XLA 7F = XLCR

RE: clutch issues
I had to drill out a lil bit of the hole where the cable is connected to the lever. That way the cable had more slack when the lever is completely released-engaging the clutch(be careful not to go too far or you wont ever be able to pull the clutch.<---makeshift.
Aslo make sure all you bolts around the case are tight.When I first got my bike it rattled and rolled so much down the highwayonce it vibrated those bolts out to where the clutch wouldnt completely disengage.....heh....
