Default Clutch type
This might be a stupid question, but how can I tell if my clutch is hydraulic or not. Going to change my bars soon and need to know this. I got an 06 SG. Thanks for the help. I assume with a hydraulic clutch, there is fluid that runs the thru the line. I believe mine is not hydraulic because it has a cable running thru it.

Do you have a clutch cable? Or a master cylinder? That's your answer.

a hydraulic will have a master cylinder on the left side, similar to the master cylinder for the front brake on the rt side.

If its got an adjustment on the frame below the tank, then there has to be a cable right?

06 FLHX unless it was changed by someone, then it's not hydraulic. CVO's come with hydraulic, but doubt your bike has one.

I feel real stupid for asking that question now. It makes perfect sense now. Just making sure before I ordered these cables. Getting closer to cruising with monkey bars. Thanks again fellow members.
