Clutch not disengaging fully
It seems that my clutch is not fully disengaging on my 08 retired police roadking. After starting the bike, when I drop it in 1st gear, the bike will actually ease forward with the clutch lever fully pulled against the grip. It's more noticeable at some times than others.
I went through the clutch adjustment procedure this afternoon, and it made no difference.
Any suggestions on what might be the issue?

If this has only been happening since cold weather set in, its probably just the primary fluid running kinda slow till it warms up.
Does it still do that after the bike has been riden for about 20 miles or so?

Being it's an old cop bike, the cable might be stretched past it's limits. I've also had that happen with my old Panhead, but that was a dry clutch and it had two warped clutch plates.,,
