Delboy's Garage, Harley Sportster Clutch Adjustment.

A little how-to for the scheduled clutch adjustment that comes round every service, this is so often neglected in DIY servicing because some feel that if the lever feels ok then it doesn't need adjusting.... the adjustment is to the freeplay down in the primary case, its really important, and a really simple job. Enjoy.

hi moonfleet41. great videos, they are a lot of help. one question - would i do anything different to change the clutch cable? putting different bars with an extended cable on and dont want to mess it up. any help appreciated. thanks!

@roleeesh Hi mate, and thanks for your kind comments. no you can just follow the same steps to change the cable.. open the primary outer plate, you'll see the cable hooked into the clevis on the clutch, just back all the slack right off on the cable, and remove the cable head from the lever at the top, this will give you enough slack to unhook the bottom.. then just back out the nut in the casing, job done, then just install the new one the same way... good luck with it, cheers. Del.

VERY WELL EXPLAINED!! THANKS YOU SIR !! VERY BIG HELP

[Moonfleet41]

@TheFirejacker you are very welcome sir, its a pleasure to help, the main dealers do very little to help thier customers learn simple jobs like this, hell, i think they would even make money from running proper classes, but in my lifetime, i have never seen it once... maybe its more lucrative to just charge you a fee and hand you a coffee while you wait... take care..

@Demonic87z Hi mate, thank you for the kind comment.. i wanted to make it all clear because the single biggest mistake with that adjustment is that folks adjust it the wrong way round and then cant fathom out why it wont go into gear.... good luck with the task mate, take your time its a piece of cake.. regards.
