Dyna vs Softail Clutch
I have a 06 Street Bob 88ci 6 speed with 17000 miles and just bought a 03 Fat Boy 88ci 5 speed with 2000 miles. The clutch on the SB is slick but the FB clutch is stiff. Can anyone tell me if the FB will loosen up with a few miles? Is there an adjustment I am missing?

Thanks for the replies. I put about 200 miles on it and everything else is like new. I thought maybe the spring in the clutch was a lot stronger or something. First thing I checked was the cable routing and its OK. I will lube the cable next. Maybe it's dry. Appreciate the help!

Adjust the cutch pack, lube the cable and adjust it. What are you comfortable with? Factory adjustment or a tweaked one?

06 dynas have the ez clutch ramp setup from the factory. 06 and earlier softail didn't my 04 train clutch was stiff compared 2 my buddies 08 glide and his dad's 06 dyna. Burly easyboy lite clutch took care of that. Changes the fulcrum angle of the ramp pull.
