1.) Walking can be an incorrectly adjusted clutch, or, in a shovelhead, the clutch pressure plate retainer springs are adjustable, and your clutch pack needs to be set up BEFORE you adjust your clutch cable.
2.) In rare cases, deposits can build up on the clutch plates, and removing them, cleaning them and readjusting the clutch basket is necessary. It depends if you're running the stock primary shared with the engine oil, or if it's been sealed up and made into an isolated primary. Disregard if it's a factory belt drive primary, and see #1.
3.) The fact that the clutch is hard to pull in, could be the clutch basket setting, or that someone added aftermarket springs to the clutch basket, OR because the cable is bound somewhere, or is in dire need of lubrication.
