I had just got my bike back from Harley after they fixed it from an accident I was in. I rode it home and everything was fine. Later that night I rode around, and everything was perfect except when I started it it lunged forward a bit. I went out the following day to ride and the clutch won’t work. The clutch lever takes the same amount of force as normal to pull. The bike is shifting without the clutch being pulled so I put it in neutral and started it. That didn’t work either. I bleed the clutch which didn’t work. I called Harley and asked them. They say they have no idea what would cause this. Any ideas on what the problem is?
its a 2014 ultra glide limited. The recall for the hydraulic clutch has already been done on it.
The first thing you need to do is find another Harley Service dealership. That first lunge is normal and shows you also need to read owners manual on starting a Harley.
However, till a certified mechanic gives you the go ahead, stay off it and have it towed to a compentant dealer.
