My wife just scored the Softail Slim S (110 Cu) that has, of course the hydraulic clutch.

Needless to say, this is a "heavy duty" clutch but she finds her hand gets sore riding in traffic. Does anyone know if there is anything we can do to make the clutch "pull in" easier?


I have an "easy clutch" on my Road King (REALLY GREAT!!) but I've heard that one cant put that kit on the hydraulic clutch. Anyone know something about this subject or done something to make the clutch pull easier?
Thanks all, appreciate any comments.... P

 

l'd put the greatest faith (for both you and her) in your wife developing a better hand grip strength. It has usefulness far beyond riding a Harley.

 

As a fellow female rider, I thought the clutch was stiff too. So I checked on my 2011 FLRC to see if it was that much easier. Well, I found both clutch pulls to be just about the same.
If I know a stop light is long I switch into neutral. Traffic can be tiring but if she keeps at it soon she will find it not to be a problem. She just needs to keep with it.

 

I have a Fat Boy S, same clutch obviously but I don't find it at all stiff. Maybe have the dealership look at it but I don't know if they can be adjusted at all. I found this https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...twin-2000-2017
