Default Clutch slip
Hello everyone. Here’s my delima. Have a 12 streetglide. Clutch was slipping last year. Got new clutch put in. Slipping mostly went away until I really hammer it. Have a hard time finding neutral while running and bike pulls a lil stopped while clutch is in. It is adjusted correctly. Previous owner put his own apes on and ran cable wrong and there is a kink in cable. Could that be my problem. Does it sound like something else. Also. Should I change cable out. Thank u guys in advance

A kinked cable can hold the clutch back from full engagement. So yes, I’d replace the cable.

make sure you get a quality cable for the length of your bars taking into account of the stock cable route.
