my bike was working great I took the farin , gas tank, bags off to paint when I put it all back together, and cranked it the clutch engaged and put it in gear it wants to move. It was working great when I started. It's like the clutch is not engaged. Any recommendations. Thanks in advance
On my 91 ultra classic
Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia. Just start it up with a clear safe road ahead in neutral. Pull in the clutch and hold it. Now push the bike back with your butt and blip the throttle a few times. If you don't have a lot of backing room, just rock it back and fwd till idles down. That will usually break the drive and driven clutch disk apart from sitting.
Might want to change out the primary fluid to Harley's recommendation and while you are doing that, properly adjust the clutch in the primary and then the proper free play at the lever with the cable adjuster.
Add a signature line in your user settings for future reference similar to mine for your bike.
