Default Clutch slip

I installe "White Brothers EZ-Clutch" and now it feels like my clutch is slipping. Did I do something wrong?

Posibly, since you didnt mess with the clutch, just the cable hook up that operates it, you maybe have the bad fit and dragging parts that kit is known for, do a search on here for eazy clutch and you will find photos on how to grind away parts that drag, this will fix it they say, this is why I put the hd factory kit in my 02.

GR is right. That little "hook" that extends the stock lever inside the trap door almost always needs some attention from a dremel or grinder to make the fitting on the end of the clutch cable move freely. I have installed many WB EZ Clutches and never had to adjust the clutch ~ inside the derby cover. The only adjustments I've made are at the cable adjuster.

1st thing I'd check: Be sure that there is a little bit of free play at the clutch lever (1/16 ~ 1/8") after adjustment. That way you know that the cable is not holding the clutch partially engaged.
