Thats what I figured. Thanks.Its normal and no way to adjust because its a hydraulic clutch.
Could it be you are just getting used to the massive power surge?ok ive been fighting the dealer about this for 40,000 miles. when I first got mine and for the first 15k the clutch started to grab as soon as you started to release the lever, then all of the sudden it changed to not grabbing until it was almost all the way out. at the same time it felt like I lost a bunch of power in first gear. im not so concerned about the release point as I am about the power. it use to be scary fast in first. like hold on with both hands. now I can run it wide open up to the limiter in first gear with one hand....and im not at all happy about that. mine is stock with a K&N filter.
Any way to adjust the point at which the clutch grabs? Seems like almost ALL the way OUT on my bike. How does this compare to other muscles? Thanks.
Oil could make a huge different with clutching.I keep everything nice and clean, it has a k&n filter. that I keep very clean, in fact once a year I get some t-body spray and a pick and clean the ports all the way down to the intake valve. it has oe plugs. it gets oil changes every 5k with h-d syn 3 oil.
I don't think i'm just getting used to it. I mean let me ask you all. can you pull first gear wide open, to the limiter sitting upright with only one hand on the handlebars?
I change the plugs every 10K miles. Never had a problem. Service manual says 10K also.When was the last time you changed the plugs?
My local HD shop told me they recommend every 5k, I had called about my 10k service and was kinda blown away that v rods eat plugs that fast. Guess it's time lol
