    I know, I know it's a contested thing, but I keep finding info on newer clutch cables with teflon and how they do not (or do) need lube, but my 89 Sportster cable is stiff as hell and I need to do something about it. Do I lube it (which I think is yes), and if so what do I use? I'm not a...

    Replaced my clutch cable with a +6" cable when I put new bars on last month. After about 300 miles I found too much play in the clutch lever so I adjusted it. After about 1000 miles the same thing happened but I could not take up any more slack with the center adjuster. I also noticed that...

    I have a 1999 Sportster 883 XL custom with Gear Shifting Problems. Hope someone can help. I changed my stator / voltage regulator and after returning everything back into place in the primary, I noticed I was having trouble shifting between gears. Finding neutral is easy, no issues there. Down...

    Hi there, the clutch on my 2022 Ultra Limited feels a little bit "scratchy" (that's the best how I can describe it): When I pull the clutch lever, during the first few millimeters (until I hit the friction zone) there is some light resistance, it feels like something is sticking or grinding...

    Hey guys, just curious what clutches are you guys running on your sporties? Feel free to add your experience on your experiences/feedbacks. I am currently running an Iron 1200, with stock clutch still 9k miles. I came across a thread here that discussed SE vs Barnett extra plates. After a...

    Hey all, new Harley owner here. I have an ‘08 1200 Nightster and recently I’ve had a few issues with shifting, specifically in lower gears. It doesn’t happen always, maybe 1-3 times during a 30 minute commute to work. Once I get rolling shifting from 2 to 3 and up is usually fine but sometimes...

    I got a 2000 883 Hugger and it just started doing this and its getting worse very fast so i could really use some help. First off when its in neutral the N light isnt coming on everytime.

    I recently put a new front tire on my 01 FXDWG, took the caliper off and bled the brakes during the process. Bike rode and ran fine after that along with front brake working two days ago, but noticed that the front brake did not have a lot of pressure so decided to bleed them again. Bled them...

    Hey y'all. I'm a moto mechanic but relatively new to Harleys (3 years experience). I'm just about at my wit's end with a mystery problem on my 86 Softail, and hoping there's someone with more experience who can weigh in. I was riding to work a couple months back, and stopped at a store for a...

    Hey all, hopefully this hasn’t been covered and if it has- apologies ! Swapping out my OEM clutch and “grenade plate” on my 2000 Sportster. Narrowed down to either a Screamin Eacle performance clutch kit - Kevlar (comes with 10% stronger clutch spring plate and an extra plate) or the Barnett...

    Hello, for the late model Touring Model M8's, I know there is difficulty in simply removing the transmission side cover to gain access to the hydraulic clutch bleeder. There is not enough enough clearance to simply remove the side cover without loosening the exhaust. Are there any redesigned...

    Is it possible for me to take a 2003 XLC Sportster & swap the stock clutch for an automatic clutch & suicide shifter? Or is it more work than simply swapping one for the other?

    I am new to motorcycles, I recently got a 1985 XLH 1000 and just had to change the clutch plates so I was able to do that but wasn't able to get the adjustment to stay. I've took it to 2 different shops to try and get it adjusted but they weren't able to do it either and didn't take off the...

    Allow me to start with, I am no mechanic! I have an 84 harley fxsb lowrider, and my clutch is completely loose (when i pull the handle in, it does not spring back out) I have completely followed the clutch from the handle, down the wire, in the transmission with the push rod, and through the...
