Video-In this completely free DIY video we show you how to adjust your Harley-Davidson clutch internally. We'll also give you a good look behind the primary cover. You actually only need to remove your clutch inspection cover to adjust the clutch, but we wanted to give you a better angle, so in the video, we had the entire primary cover off.

This video will show you start to finish how to adjust your Harley clutch and to get it right where you want it. We give you all the tips and tricks needed for this project. No specialty tools are required for this project.
Note: This is for cable clutch Harley models. There are no adjustments on a newer hydraulic Harley clutch.
Save yourself a ton of money by not having to take your Harley to the dealership to have these types of projects done. You can do this right in your very own shop or garage and right on the kickstand. Plus, have the absolute satisfaction of wrenching on your own Harley!

Great video, my ultra uses t27 on the derby cover.

@goodtimes291 6 лет назад

I did this back in August after watching the video. Everything went smooth until I tried to loosen the nut on the threaded adjuster bolt. I have a 2011 EGC. It felt like someone welded the nut onto the bolt. After about twenty minutes of messing with it, I finally got it loose. I went and picked up a new nut because I trashed the original one. Thanks for another great video!!

An offset box end is good and the gearwrench socket set is even better. It has a hole down the middle.....

thanks guys for the great videos.As the back yard mechanic that i am i do know the twin cam any year make or model.All of us back yard mechanics should own a few maintenance repair manuals for reference location, part # , tool's u need Etc.... I just installed the Baker high torque bearing seal kit om my 2006 FLHRS in November she will be 15 years old yes!!! HER treat Her nice and she will do the same. I had that DREADED one drop after a ride primary fluid leak from the main shaft walking race flaw. with the Baker bearing seal kit there is no more main shaft race for the bearing to ride on so therefore no more walking race lol.The bearing is precision tapered and rides on the main shaft alone nice set up easy install put 300 miles on it so far so good thanks again for all the great learning very helpful videos Big Joe Deland Florida

Right on Big Joe. Thank you for taking time to comment. We're happy to hear you like our videos. Ride Safe & Ride Often!

@Steven-kp4wk 6 лет назад

Question for you. I decided to do this adjustment on my 2015 Road King with 16,000 miles. No issues beforehand other than wanting to tighten up the adjustment in the lever. So once all said and done and done exactly the way the Harley service manual says, I now have a bad vibration in gear while riding. Clutch pulls and engages just fine but bad vibration in the seat in gear. So I reperformed the adjustment turning out shaft 3/4 of a turn and still same issue. Done EXACTLY the way the manual says on a stone cold bike that was sitting for 2 days previously. What gives here, surely a simple 5 minute service has not damaged something.

@HarleyBreakoutGuy 7 лет назад

My wife's Harley breakout has a stage 5 tire shredder engine upgrade and her clutch has no free play so should i do this for her to get free play?

@traceydoughty5256 Год назад

Hi your video great you are very informative and you get to the point quick I am a female and I built my own bike but I need some reminders how many turns do you put on the nuts on the clutch finger springs ?

@harleysandbeer5991 3 года назад

Just had 14" handlebars put on my 2006 ultra classic and I took it for a ride today and slowly but surely the clutch is not disengaging. Luckily I made it home but sure would like some tips on what i could do to fix this problem

@jasonharrold6686 7 лет назад

Nice, I always thought you tightened until you see deflection, that plate sort of moving in and then back off 1/2 to 1 full turn

@mikes2854 День назад

Heh bossman, I have a 2017 street glide special. I believe the clutch is hydraulic. Do you have videos on adjusting those. My bike is experiencing clutch drag so i wanted to see how to fix it. Your stuff is top notch. Love your videos. Thanks..

@JSTJPN 2 года назад

Ryan, I replaced my clutch basket assembly and adjusted the clutch internally and extras you described. However, when taking off and I’m 2nd and 3rd gears. I get this slipping feeling when accelerating especially when going up an incline. Any thoughts as to what is causing this?

@johnk815 4 года назад

I have a 2002 fat boy and I’m ran out of threads on the the clutch cable adjustment. Does that mean the cable stretched too much? Or the clutch pack is worn out? The cable is after market maybe 13 years old.

@pappy3032 2 года назад

Great videos thanks.. so quick question. The further you back out the center bolt, the 'faster' the clutch? 1/2 turn would equal late clutch 1 turn would equal early clutch ..

@robbiegwinn 7 лет назад

@srhintz Год назад

Boy! Get your wrench off my fender! Good tip on the gasket, they last a long time. Pro tip: get a set of offset box end wrenches.😉

@jamieb9191 4 года назад

Hey Ryan, huge fan of LAB. I installed new cables for apes and used your video to adjust the primary, but I was wondering at 3:32 it says "newer clutch may need 1 full turn". Is this in reference to the new clutch line, or a overhauled brand new clutch? Also at 3:47 you say to pull the clutch lever 3 times. When doing this are you fully pulling it in or just a wiggle for free play?

@szymonkucharski7224 Год назад

Hi, need to pick your brain about a problem I have with my 08 Street Glide which I recently bought. After making the clutch basket and cable adjustment my clutch pulls horribly. When pressing the lever the spring on the basket bearly moves and the lever is stiff... The funny thing was after taking off the primary inspection cover you normally don't get much oil spill when the bike is upright but my primary was filled with something like 2 quarts of oil and it spilled all over... Not sure why someone did this. Checked the transmission cover clutch actuator and it's okay, clutch basket nut, and it's solid... Also to make it work at all, had to turn the adjuster bolt in after reaching the resistance instead of going half turnout. Not sure where to go next... The only idea I have left is that my Street Glide has Apehangers and a quite long clutch cable... would that be the cause of my headache??? Not sure where to go next... Regards Simon

Hi Ryan, clutch question. I have a stuck clutch safety switch on my 15 road King. Causing my bike only to be started in neutral. Also effecting. My cruse control not too work. Can I change that switch or do I have to replace my handle bar control. Thanks

@RyanUrlacher 7 лет назад

@RyanUrlacher 7 лет назад

Thank you. Yes, add the oil before.

@chrisborresona.sc.t2178 20 дней назад

Derby bolts....are they not t27? Might be why your strippin, cheers!!

@rsjdawg1 3 года назад

Does this work on the HD XG500?

@alexf9472 3 года назад

Do you need to drain the oil before you open the clutch cover? In particular, if the bike is leaning on a kickstand?

@alexf9472 3 года назад

it appears the answer is "no", at least on my 05 fat boy

@randy3577 Год назад

I did that exact thing and still can't get my clutch to disengage the transmission when pulled. If I put the bike in gear I can't roll the bike. So I started all over adjusted at the basket, then the cable adjustment. Still have no clutch. I'm goingmout of my mind. It worked when I parked it and now after the cable change it doesn't. It's the proper length cable but just can't figure it out.

@MrMarctheriault69 Год назад

Put some tape on the end of that wrench so you don't nick the fender like he was doing .

@jefftrompczynski3807 2 года назад

Its a T 27 there buddy but good video

@adamferguson5 2 года назад

@Ken-xv4sb 7 лет назад

Why would customers (I deleted the word I really wanted to use)... comment on an unrelated RU-vid video regarding a customer service issue (ie, wrong order, service question, etc.)? It's the second time I've saw someone do this on this channel, with one being a few months ago. Wouldn't it make more sense to either call them or email them, rather than posting on RU-vid?
