Default clutch issue after installing easy pull clutch 1fngr

I installed a 1fngr clutch lever (easy pull) and I'm now having issues shifting after a couple hundred miles. Clutch adjustment being done. Anything else I need to do or look at do to prevent this issue again?

What are the "issues shifting"...?

Sharing some more details could allow the many knowledgeable people on this forum to hazard an educated guess as to the exact cause of your "shifting issues"....

Sorry, I don't know you so I have to ask....

By "clutch adjustment" do you mean adjusting only the cable to replace the lever? Or actually opening the derby cover and adjusting the clutch pack...?

In any case, barring any other information/details, if it was working fine before your mod, and is now having "issues", you need to recheck your work....

How do you have it mounted on the handlebar?

I started going to the gym to get back in shape. Building up slowly, darn thing my elbow is hurting now since I started doing push-ups. I’ll have to take it slow and strengthen my muscles with resistance bands.

OP not sure if I can help you but I have Mueller clutch cylinder and it’s helping me so far.

I installed an easy pull and could never get the adjustment right. Very little room for error. I was looking for a solution for a problem that didn't exist so I went back to stock.

Just strolling through some posts and saw the 1FgrEZ pull clutch.
I was getting ready to admit that my age combined with cervical surgeries would end my enjoyment on the 2000FLSTC.
Gave the EZ pull a shot as a last resort......easy install, now I have zero concerns about shifting strength.
put it in the clutch perch, readjusted the cable for 1/8 play and done. I recently said to a riding buddy that among the many upgrades I have done the EZ pull is hands down the best. (aside from cam tensioner)
