Default clutch issue

The clutch issue is pretty serious, I just had my 2015 Streetglide in for the recall on Friday. It has been on going for several years now. What happens is with the clutch lever pulled all the way in, you put the bike in gear and off she goes. My local dealer here in N.C. has had 2 bikes try and head through the window of the show room. At first I was told I would need to leave the bike over night to check it cold in the morning, now that has changed, they are replacing the clutch master cylinder, lever and several pieces of clutch hardware, 2 hours labor and about 500.00 in parts. In my case free of charge. This seems to be a fairly serious problem and needs to be taken care of, there is a recall out on it.

Sure thing.
hydraulic clutch issues have been going on for a while and a little more than should be normal. This is going on the third year. Harley-Davidson extended the warranty on clutches that in itself kind of said something don't it? The Forum is like a group of sharks one takes a bite and the rest are just followers.
