I have a 94 fatboy it has a hard time shifting into netural or almost impossable at a stop with the engine running. I can shift into netural easier as I pull up to a light but once I stop it is impossable. The clutch has just been replaced at the dealer and if anything it is a little harder to shift into netural now. Any ideas?
I am no monkey wrench... but this is where I would start.
Get the bike level and pop off the derby cover. Is the fluid level in the primary to high? Should be just to the bottom of the clutch assembly. If it is overfilled, can be a tough one to find "N".
If fluid looks good, pull the locking nut off the center of the clutch and turn it a 1/2 turn away from tension( dont quote me but I believe it would be clockwise).

Best of luck!
why does too much oil make it hard to find neutral? I had my clutch and primary fixed recently and i cant shift into neutral easily, but the clutch doesnt drag and shifting into other gears is nothing.
