Default A weird one...

It's kind of hard to explain but whenever I disengage the clutch it sounds like the RPM's continue wherever they were last for a good second or two after pulling in the clutch lever. I have a 2003 RK FLHCRI with Big Shot Duals, FM PCIII and stage I air cleaner. Would a bad clutch cause this? Sticking throttle? I'm lost for ideas here as I have never had this happen before.

Thanks for helpin' out a noob!
Mike

Is your tension screw on your throttle a little tight?

You know what...it probably is....I like a tighter throttle and may have cranked it a little tight...I'm about to go out so I will loosen that up and see what happens. I hadn't realized that could be the culprit. Thanks!

Sometimes I catch myself. Not letting off of the throttle quickly enough before disengaging the clutch.

Mine does the same thing occasionally. I'm thinking that it may be either the IAC ot TP sensor starting to go bad.

I tried tightening and loosening it up and a little looser makes it slightly better but not a fix. It still does it! Any ideas ladies and gents? Thanks a lot for all your help again.

Sounds more like a throttle problem than a clutch problem.

Mine does the exact same thing, and has since I bought it (used) I just shool it off as a Harley thing. I'll be watching this thread.
