Default the Clutch blues

hello again,i have to correct my last question i cant get my 93 softail into netrual unless the bike is not running, I can shift by it, but never into it unless the bikes not running, its also a little harder then usual to bring it up into second gear as it gets warmer second gear is better,ive changed the clutch,cables, adjusted chains, adjusted tension on the chain. dont know what else to do, its releasing the plates fine, when i pull the clutch lever in its fine. called the manufacture of the clutch he said maybe some of the discs or steels might be getting hung up in the clutch basket was told to remove any sparp corners ever happen to anyone,thanks for your help in advance...............Harley Deluxe09

Sounds like your cable isn't tight enough.

99% of the time this is clutch adjustment it's not releasing far enough. Put a dial indicator on the release plate. You want at least .070 disengagement.
