Question Loose clutch lever on RKC

Hi,

I've been having some issues with my 2005 Road King Classic lately. Whenever I get the bike really hot the clutch lever becomes incredible loose. See this video I shot a few hours ago: link to video.

As you can see I can almost push the lever onto the handlebar without it to disengage the clutch.

Every time this has happened have been when I’ve been riding on the freeway (60-75mph) for some time (30-50min).

Today I had serious trouble to disengage the clutch as I came of the freeway. In the last second I could force the gearbox down to 1 st gear and then killed the engine with the kill switch.

What the heck is wrong? All advices are welcomed…

Regards from Sweden,

Oliver
