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).

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.
