Hey everyone! I have a 2009 Heritage Softail Classic. I just installed new bars and had to get a new clutch cable etc. I installed it correctly but the clutch won’t release. With the bike off, if I shift into gear and pull the clutch lever the clutch is still engaged. I tried to adjust the cable to the right spec, it still won’t disengage. Am I missing any steps, clutch adjustment? Etc? Thank you friends.

Turn the clutch adjuster in until it seats against the clutch release. Seated means that it is touching but not pushing against the release. At this time the clutch lever should have very little play. WRONG

The clutch cable should be totally slack and the lever should be limp. If the lever has very little play then the cable is influencing the adjustment you are making to the clutch adjuster.
