Just wondering if anyone has advice for me. My clutch cable isn't springing back all the way, I have to physically push it back. Is that a problem with the cable itself, or is that a clutch problem?

 

How much play does the lever have?...There should be a 1/16" - 1/8" gap between the ferrule and the base of the handle. Therefore, it shouldn't spring back all the way.

 

Or have you run out of threads to the adjustment part of the cabling? This is not uncommon and found the cable stretches enough after the second adjustment and a shim became necessary.

 

It only goes back about half way, way more than 1/8" of a gap. I'll have to check to see if the cable is stretched.

 

Hi .do not know you .try to adjust your clutch in your primary first. Cable do strech but .mrfuji

 

How many miles on the bike?

It's possible that you need a clutch adjustment (under the derby cover) and a cable adjustment is part of that process too.

You should be able to get it back to within spec for play at the grip/clutch perch.

Youtube has some good videos of a clutch adjustment for the big twin, if you don't have a service manual handy.

 

I've got a feeling you are new to bikes. Or that your previous bikes had a hydraulic clutch. Sounds to me like you need to adjust your clutch. It's a regular maintenance thing.
