Default Need help : Cluth dont work.

Cluth dont work.
I just finalised the installation of a wide swingarm. I reinstall primary chain with the cluth assembly, put back the oil and do a clutch ajustment like the clymer manual said.. but the clutch dont work. If I remove the derby cover, I can see the cluth push rod move when I touch the handle. I cant answer the problems.... Do I need more oil or something else ?

What makes you think it's not working? Will it not roll with it in gear? That's normal for a harley. Or have you started it, put it in gear and get no movement from the bike?

Is it off the ground when the wheel spins? Or is it burning rubber on the pavement?

Put it on the ground and try it. There will always be some friction even with the lever pulled in.
