I have a 2001 sportster 1200 and it wants to grab with the clutch fully engaged, when i click it into first it will stall occasionally, it will not shift back into neutral and finally the primary makes a horrible clanking sound which i will post a video of. Any ideas of where to start?
Congratulations on your first post to HDF,

1. Do you have a Harley service manual for your bike?
2. How many miles are on your bike?
3. When was the last time you adjusted the clutch IAW the service manual?
4. When was the last time you adjusted the primary chain IAW the service manual?
5. When was the last time you changed the primary/transmission fluid?
Answer the above questions and we can go from there about your issue.

1. I just bought the bike and do not have the manual the previous owner had just installed a hoonigan 1250 kit (still in break in period). 2. Its got about 30,000 miles. 3. i adjusted the clutch today to see if that would help but unfortunately it didnt. 4. I havent adjusted the primary chain yet. 5. The primary fluid was replaced when the kit was installed.
