    I did this back in August after watching the video. Everything went smooth until I tried to loosen the nut on the threaded adjuster bolt. I have a 2011 EGC. It felt like someone welded the nut onto the bolt. After about twenty minutes of messing with it, I finally got it loose. I went and picked up a new nut because I trashed the original one. Thanks for another great video!!

      An offset box end is good and the gearwrench socket set is even better. It has a hole down the middle.....

    Boy! Get your wrench off my fender! Good tip on the gasket, they last a long time. Pro tip: get a set of offset box end wrenches.😉

    so quick question. The further you back out the center bolt, the 'faster' the clutch? 1/2 turn would equal late clutch 1 turn would equal early clutch ..

    Do you adjust it from neutral do you adjust it from first gear nobody ever says that and should it be hot or cold

  • @jasonharrold6686
    @jasonharrold6686 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice, I always thought you tightened until you see deflection, that plate sort of moving in and then back off 1/2 to 1 full turn

    Just had 14" handlebars put on my 2006 ultra classic and I took it for a ride today and slowly but surely the clutch is not disengaging. Luckily I made it home but sure would like some tips on what i could do to fix this problem

  • @GregDoncaster01
    @GregDoncaster01 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Excellent info guys. ?do you have to add oil before securing the covers and riding off. thanks for your help

    • @RyanUrlacher
      @RyanUrlacher  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you. Yes, add the oil before.

  • @Steven-kp4wk
    @Steven-kp4wk 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question for you. I decided to do this adjustment on my 2015 Road King with 16,000 miles. No issues beforehand other than wanting to tighten up the adjustment in the lever. So once all said and done and done exactly the way the Harley service manual says, I now have a bad vibration in gear while riding. Clutch pulls and engages just fine but bad vibration in the seat in gear. So I reperformed the adjustment turning out shaft 3/4 of a turn and still same issue. Done EXACTLY the way the manual says on a stone cold bike that was sitting for 2 days previously. What gives here, surely a simple 5 minute service has not damaged something.

  • @HarleyBreakoutGuy

    My wife's Harley breakout has a stage 5 tire shredder engine upgrade and her clutch has no free play so should i do this for her to get free play?

  • @szymonkucharski7224

    Hi, need to pick your brain about a problem I have with my 08 Street Glide which I recently bought. After making the clutch basket and cable adjustment my clutch pulls horribly. When pressing the lever the spring on the basket bearly moves and the lever is stiff... The funny thing was after taking off the primary inspection cover you normally don't get much oil spill when the bike is upright but my primary was filled with something like 2 quarts of oil and it spilled all over... Not sure why someone did this. Checked the transmission cover clutch actuator and it's okay, clutch basket nut, and it's solid... Also to make it work at all, had to turn the adjuster bolt in after reaching the resistance instead of going half turnout. Not sure where to go next... The only idea I have left is that my Street Glide has Apehangers and a quite long clutch cable... would that be the cause of my headache??? Not sure where to go next... Regards Simon

    Ryan, I replaced my clutch basket assembly and adjusted the clutch internally and extras you described. However, when taking off and I’m 2nd and 3rd gears. I get this slipping feeling when accelerating especially when going up an incline. Any thoughts as to what is causing this?

  • @adamferguson5
    @adamferguson5 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So why take inspection cover off? You said to drain oil isn't there an oil drain plug?

    I have a 2002 fat boy and I’m ran out of threads on the the clutch cable adjustment. Does that mean the cable stretched too much? Or the clutch pack is worn out? The cable is after market maybe 13 years old.

  • @MrMarctheriault69

    Put some tape on the end of that wrench so you don't nick the fender like he was doing .

  • @alexf9472
    @alexf9472 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you need to drain the oil before you open the clutch cover? In particular, if the bike is leaning on a kickstand?

    • @alexf9472
      @alexf9472 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      it appears the answer is "no", at least on my 05 fat boy

  • @randy3577
    @randy3577 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did that exact thing and still can't get my clutch to disengage the transmission when pulled.
    If I put the bike in gear I can't roll the bike.
    So I started all over adjusted at the basket, then the cable adjustment.
    Still have no clutch.
    I'm goingmout of my mind.
    It worked when I parked it and now after the cable change it doesn't.
    It's the proper length cable but just can't figure it out.

  • @jamieb9191
    @jamieb9191 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Ryan, huge fan of LAB. I installed new cables for apes and used your video to adjust the primary, but I was wondering at 3:32 it says "newer clutch may need 1 full turn". Is this in reference to the new clutch line, or a overhauled brand new clutch? Also at 3:47 you say to pull the clutch lever 3 times. When doing this are you fully pulling it in or just a wiggle for free play?

  • @BOWHUNTFORDEER

    Hi Ryan, clutch question. I have a stuck clutch safety switch on my 15 road King. Causing my bike only to be started in neutral. Also effecting. My cruse control not too work. Can I change that switch or do I have to replace my handle bar control. Thanks

    • @RyanUrlacher
      @RyanUrlacher  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just the switch. Happened on my 2014 SGS. My local HD dealer replaced it under warranty.

      Why would customers (I deleted the word I really wanted to use)... comment on an unrelated TH-cam video regarding a customer service issue (ie, wrong order, service question, etc.)? It's the second time I've saw someone do this on this channel, with one being a few months ago.
      Wouldn't it make more sense to either call them or email them, rather than posting on TH-cam?
