You can always add things to make clutch pull easier. I’m coming off the 19 with a Muller slave and will probably have to address the clutch pull on the 24 if it’s too stiff.

They have different ramps that make the pull easier as well as perch/lever changeouts.

I have Mueller on my 2016. I make it work by keeping clutch lever set at 7 on Oberon lever. I don't like that it's too far, if I set it at 6 or 5 I can feel my clutch not disengaging, even at 7 when the bike is cold clutch grinds a little while shifting. Sometimes I have to hit it hard. When warm, shifts smooth.

Had the same problem with victory cross country, one of the hardest clutch to pull. Sold that bike after just few weeks because of stiff clutch.

Why can't any other motorcycle manufacturer make a smooth clutch like Goldwing ? It was the smoothest, easy to pull clutch I ever used.

I see Harley is still building tractors

Regarding the clutch pull..... Ive been on an HD since 1984. For a second bike I've had Triumphs BMWs, Hondas, etc - I find these clutches too light... Its all what youre use to.

I didn’t think the clutch was hard at all. Kind of touchy is more like it. Small friction zone. I have a 2014 Ultra Limited, so I had a hard time getting used to the new engine, lots of low end torque. but I think that is a good thing. I kind of like it, rode smoother than my old street glides.
