HOME
ADJUSTMENT
If clutch slips under load or drags when released, first check
control cable adjustment. If cable adjustment is within specifi-
cations, adjust clutch mechanism as described below.
When necessary, lubricate cable with LUBIT-8 TUFOIL
®
CHAIN AND CABLE LUBE (Part No. HD-94968-85TV).
1. To prevent lubricant from draining out when clutch
inspection cover is removed, position the motorcycle
straight up and level.
2. See Figure 1-23. Slide rubber boot (1) upward to expose
adjuster mechanism. Loosen jam nut (3) from adjuster
(4). Turn adjuster to shorten cable housing until there is a
large amount of free play at clutch hand lever.
3. See Figure 1-20. Remove three fasteners and washers
from clutch inspection cover. Remove clutch inspection
cover and gasket from primary cover.
4. See Figure 1-24. Remove spring (1) and lockplate (2).
Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn adjusting screw (3)
counterclockwise until it lightly bottoms.
5. Turn adjusting screw clockwise 1/4-1/2 turn. Install lock-
plate and spring on adjusting screw flats. If hex on lock-
plate does not align with recess in outer ramp, rotate
adjusting screw clockwise until it aligns.
NOTE
Spring installs on outboard side of hex lockplate.
