No Clutch Disengage
I've a 2018 Electra Glide FLHTP w/11,000 miles that has had the clutch recall done. I've started to notice that this winter when moving the bike around the garage, you can't push it while in gear with the clutch pulled. I could do this last fall while warmer. I've been told that with the hydraulic clutch, the only thing to check is the clutch reservoir, which is OK. Any suggestions. Thanks all.

Put it in neutral, a cold clutch does not release enough to Overcome the fluid on the plates and not have some drag. If it shifts fine, and you can find neutral with the motor running...don’t worry about it.

On the colder mornings I would put the bike in neutral to move it around, then it's idling warming up I would hold in the clutch to help sling the oil out of the clutch plates. That was my routine when I was working and riding in 40* or below.
