2000 Electra Glide issues
Hey guys and gals. Not sure if this in the right area or not but here goes! I’ve got a 00 Electra Glide with roughly 14,5xx on it. Recently got front and back brake pads, back rotor and back tire. Before that, I had my local Harley shop replace I believe the ECM(check engine light came on and thats the code it spit out). Whoever test road it at Harley said that he thought the clutch might have been slipping. I’ve had the bike since October or so and that happened around February. Last Tuesday, I was riding in 5th gear around 75mph when all of a sudden my bike acted like it was in neutral. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned it off, then back on, put it in first and tried to take off. Only, the bike wouldn’t move. All it would do is roll.
I’m no mechanic. Friend looked at it and said that he thinks either the clutch went out or it’s something inside the transmission. Anybody have any ideas? It’s going to Harley tomorrow afternoon.
thanks all!!!

...and no it’s not. Try the engine mechanical forum, although if it’s going in tomorrow you will likely have your answers before anyone cares to reply!
Hope it sorts out and again welcome!

Stuff you are talking about up above in your OP (Original Post), needs to go to the proper and more relevant area to get our rider’s input.
In the UPPER LEFT corner, just take your mouse and ROLL OVER “Forums” and come down to the section (or subsection) that you feel is most appropriate. It is that easy.
Thank you my friend for understanding.
It is GREAT to have you here with us.
Warmly & Respectfully,

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!
