Look at bel-ray.
Clutch drag? When cold or all the time?
When I switched to the Rekluse TorqDrive clutch pack, they said to use a JASO-MA2 oil. I tried it with Formula+ (which has no rating) but eventually switched to Castrol Power RS V-Twin 4T 20W-50 Fully Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (now is called Castrol POWER1 V-Twin 4T 20W-50). Made a significant difference reducing drag when cold and has better grip when cold and hot.

You may also want to check with the manufacturer for adjustment specs.

Also, Sportsters can be quite different than touring models. The folks over in the sportster section may be a lot more familiar with this.

How many miles on it with the new plates? they might just need a little riding and wearing in.

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. Your bike is a Sportster and has a different setup from the Touring models in here. Your clutch and primary drive are lubricated by the transmission oil, whereas the big twins in our Touring bikes have a separate primary/clutch oil. As MilesOfTexas suggested, visit the Sportster section, where the members over there can offer you some suggestions.
I suspect you are telling us that your clutch is dragging, which probably means it needs adjustment. If you don't have a genuine Harley factory service manual I recommend you get one. In the meantime also visit the Tech Primary section, where you will find tips on adjustment.

I am not able, at this time, to decipher the translation from the OP's question with regard to subject matter that may or may not involve certain characteristics at the molecular level with respect to friction modifiers related to preferred effects upon generally accepted hard surface relationships.
Sometime later today, I may rub my temples and attempt to reconnect to find the answer for Him, perhaps.
