Default Clutch lever problem

New to HD world - i got a 2008 SG and just over 1000km. the clutch lever doesnt spring back to initail position after i change a gear - stays almost about a 1/4 way from initial postion and i push it back after i depress clutch is this normal ? shouldnt the lever spring back like the front brake lever ?

Go to the DIY forums and look for clutch adjustment. Then adjust your clutch. If it's time for the 1000 mile service have the dealer do it. Your cable needs adjustment.

If you adjust clutch cold the play seems to increase once bike is hot.So adjust it when hot.Bet your bike has the clutch lever dance?Fingers barely on lever,increase rpms and then roll throttle off.Watch/feel lever move.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
