M8 Clutch
Just purchased a 2017 Road King Special. Put about 100 miles on it today and noticed a clunking noise when pulling in the clutch to shift, particularly from first to second. Anyone else notice this??

if your Harley doesn't clunk, rattle or shake at all take it in immediately to get checked out!

had it real bad after bars and lines were installed . just happened to check the trans for oil level, it was low. barely on the stick , and well below the add mark. . so I added about 5-6 ounces of trans. + and a lot of the so called bump is gone. check your trans, Harley saved some money there, and just go to prove that the dealers p.d.i. isn't worth a ****. but that's on me , should have checked it when I bought it in December.

Mine sounds like you're tossing a hammer into a bucket 1st through 3rd, 4th and up it isn't bad.

Thanks guys. Will be checking the transmission fluid tomorrow night. Will let you know what I find. Other than that, enjoying the new engine. Big upgrade to my 96 ci Street Bob, just trying to get used to the quiet of the new engine!

Brought my 17' King in 2 weeks ago to the dealership and still haven't heard a word on it. My problem with the clutch is that it sort of went limp after awhile. It was just like hanging there and the engagement spot was all over the place. Any ideas. Thanks.
