clutch vibration
clutch vibration
Picked up an 09 street glide 44k. I noticed at certain speeds, the clutch lever vibrates, up and down. If u put a finger on it, it stops. Anyone else seen or experienced this? Supposedly just serviced.

Take a look at the black circular pin that runs down through the lever and through the
bracket. There's a c-clip that should be on the very bottom of the pin, that you might be missing. Or you need to adjust the free play on the clutch itself..

Not to worry, They all do that.
These bikes vibrate more than the rest.
However that being said, their is a nylon bushing that could have been worn out by the previous owner. their in no standard "Service" that would take care of this issue, other than replacing the bushing. I do not know if just the nylon bushing is available, but I got a new one when I had to replace my lever from being hit by a car.

Too much play at the lever will have more vibration. I need to adjust mine before my next ride.

Tighten up the clutch cable just a tiny bit and go out and ride the hell out of that thing till something either falls off or it catches on fire.
