Default Clutch Issue?

2013 Ultra , 70,000 miles clutch works perfect but after lubing the cable and adjusting the clutch the pull is light and easy. After a day or so the clutch still works fine but it is harder to pull in. I have adjusted it twice now what do you think?

I'm thinkin' you might be in the market for a new cable...might be some fraying of the cable inside the housing that frees up a little with some lube...then the lube moves on as per the law of gravity...and if that's the case, one of these days when you're out and about, the cable is gonna snap, and that will complicate the day's ride a bit.


I personally like Barnett cables, but there are a number of fine aftermarket ones out there...or OEM...


I will make this disclaimer that most all problems are difficult, many times impossible, to diagnose from the World Wide Web...but that's the sense I have based on your description...

Fit a new clutch cable, yours may well be worn out of sight inside the outer. I swapped to a Diamondback at a lower mileage and was amazed how much smoother and lighter it is.
