How To Properly Adjust The Clutch & Clutch Cable - Harley Davidson

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a step by step instructional video on how to properly adjust the clutch and clutch cable on a Harley Davidson. While I’m working on a 2006 Night Train (FXSTBI), this video applies to pretty much all Harley years & models with a cable driven clutch. The clutch system hasn’t changed in decades and is used across the entire Harley line up (Softails, Dynas, Touring & VRods) although Sportsters are slightly different. While components may have changed slightly, the overall function & adjustment has not.
This job is fairly straight forward, but there is a little bit of finesse to get the clutch adjustment right. I’ll cover various tips & tricks to make this job quick, clean & easy. I hope to take a lot of the mystery and fear out of adjusting your clutch. You can have this job done in less then a half hour, even if you take your time.

    +Pet Rock's Garage I'll give you the short version of my bike. I live in Germany and the US forces have our own registration system for vehicles. Because US spec vehicles are so different from European spec, we have our own registrations. The guy I bought it from retired 3 years ago and lost his logistical support from the US government, so he had to deregister it. To register it in the German system he would have to convert it. Which included KMH speedometer, disable front running lights, new exhaust with 'E' stamp so it conforms to 95 Db. Do you know how quiet 95 db is? New headlight, removing aftermarket forward controls and handlebars (no TÜV approval) and paying 19% tax on the original purchase price. Maybe a couple of other things. It would have been around €4000.00 total. So he deregistered it and it sat in his garage since November 2012, He started it and rode it around his neighborhood about once a month to keep it lubed and running. In the last year he put new tires and a new battery in it.

    THANK YOU! Jam nut was VERY tight...just turned clutch pack in neutral...put in gear...tried to roll bike forward and moving kick stand! Sitting under it...no bueno! Got a hand to hold front brake and I kept foot on kick stand and out of the way just in case...with a craftsman 3/8" ratchet (short) no way...got a longer ratchet before going to breaker bar and it came loose. Besides this, SUPER easy. Derby cover bolts, like mentioned by a Stealership Tech below were just 1/4 turn past finger tight. Proper torque now. For those worried about doing on kickstand, got a single drip down case. Time for a ride to test.

    Good for you for taking your bikes maintenance into your own hands! For fun, after doing a service contact your local dealer and ask how much it would cost for them to do it for you. Then take that amount and put it into an 'upgrade' fund for the bike. :-) You will be surprised how quickly it adds up.

    Yeah, you need to adjust the clutch when everything is cold. Metal expands when it gets hot, so the clearances will be tighter giving you a false positive when doing the adjustment. Good luck with your next adjustment.

    Great video. There are few things that made yous better than similar ones here. The others are strictly "factory" oriented. You clearly show and explain the critical part, resistance on the clutch adjuster bolt. You explain what happens when you back off 3/4 or 1 full turn. I'm an experienced rider (over 40 years riding), who switched from Japanese sport bikes to HD. I never liked the results when I adjusted to "factory" specs. That extra 1/4 turn made all the difference. Much better slow speed control, without slippage when pushing HARD. Cheers!

    Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Yeah the 3/4 turn is a big difference over stock. I started using it about a decade ago and haven’t looked back. I rode a buddies Road King a while ago with a stock adjustment and was pretty annoyed. I adjusted the clutch for him later that day (once the bike cooled down) and he is now a 3/4 turn convert too.

    Hi there. I've had quite a few different bikes over the years but not at all mechanical, have always fixed up trail bikes but when it comes to my Harleys,had 4. Have always taken them to the shop. Well had a break up and sold bike to pay bills. Wanted another so bad I brought a cheap that had been worked to bits. AND what a lemon if it could go wrong it did. My new Mrs said that's it no more money. So THANKS to KZread and you guys I have found the confidence to work on my own bike. BIG cheers Thankyou, KIWI Millsy

    I know this is an old video, but new to me. Excellent video, have never seen anything more clear! I can attest that it is easy to "think" you have first felt resistance and be either in front of or too far with the adjuster

    Thanks, this was very helpful. Great vid that helped me save a bunch of money. I have a 2003 Softail Standard and was able to lubricate my cable and adjust my clutch to get that better clutch control in stop and go traffic. I adjusted it at not quite the 3/4 turn like you did. I like it much better now.

    Mr Pet Rock thanks for showing the clutch working after the adjustment. I had to replace my drive belt on a 2006 softail and put everything back as per manual and the simplest thing like adjusting the clutch is killing me. I notice that my clutch release plate disengages unevenly. I see yours pushes out even...I think I my have found why I have a dragging clutch.

My trans is going they say i need a new one, the dealer wants $2200.00 for new one after they changed the bearing 2 years earlier on it! Maybe be i need to do it myself wonder if theirs a video on that? Just kidding! i am going to a different dealer to have it done! Take care.

    Thanks alot. I appreciate it. $2200 for a trans is alot but most of that is likely the cost of the trans itself. Maybe it's time for an upgrade to a 6 or 7 speed. :-) But yes, there are videos online on how to install a new trans. It is not a small amount of work and does require some special tools. So it isn't for the faint of heart. Good luck.
