Default Does anyone know....

If all 2017 M8 Harley models have the hydraulic clutch? Just wondering if there's a correlation with regards to fluid transfer between hydraulic and non-hydraulic clutches.

Based on the information that the same issue seems to be occurring in earlier models with the old engine, but the same clutch/tranny set-up I'd say that's a good bet.

Yes they do. And the previous poster is correct, there were also some migration issues reported with 2016 twin cams equipped with hydraulic clutches

Thanks guys. Hard for me to imagine then that 'some do it, and some don't'. It may boil down to different parts suppliers, if that is indeed the case. Thanks for the replies. I didn't do too much research on the models I knew I wasn't buying.
