Default clutch slipping

hi this is my first time on here and I have a Clutch Problem Question.
I have a 2015 Street Guide Special and it only has 8100 miles on it and it has started slipping the clutch when I shift from 4th to 5th and jump the throttle.
the bike has the new hydraulic system and don't see any adjustment on it.
can anybody tell what steps I need to take to fix it and if I should that it back to the dealer for warranty repair.

You could have the dealership readjust the clutch and see if it helps. If not then I would put on the SE clutch spring, it is a bit stiffer than the stock one and should be plenty of clutch pressure to prevent slipping.

If you have not bought a HD Service Manual, I would do that pronto - things like adjusting the clutch and removing the clutch spring are all spelled out and are not too difficult. This way you might save yourself a lot of time instead of taking your bike in.

And welcome to HD Forum!

If your bike is under warranty, then yes, get the dealer to sort it out - that's what a warranty is for! By all means ask them to explain what went wrong, also a service manual is a great idea, if you ever expect to do work yourself.

A trip to your dealer is for certain first place to go. I would also ask about the updated kit for the clutch slave cylinder on the lever. I have a 2014 FLHXS and have had three updates made on that item. Dealer should be able to tell you if your bike falls within that recall by your VIN number.
