[QUOTE=edson443;7506003]I have been trying to troubleshoot a clutch/shift issue and I think/hoping it is as simple as adjusting the clutch basket and cable. In the past I have just adjusted the cable when the bike is cold. My trouble is that the bike (05' FXST) doesn't shift clean in to third gear. After my ride this weekend I can say with some confidence that this issue moves around gears, so it may not be just third. When I shift it feels as though the clutch hasn't fully disengaged when I pull in the lever and up shift. This tends to occur at a higher RPM shift than at a lower RPM. So my question is if I adjust the clutch basket taking 3/4 turn out, will this alleviate dragging shift? I appreciate any feedback you all can offer. I have been on the continual learning curve at wrenching
