Default Clutch didn't disengage right away...

Absolutely love my Ultra Limited... was on a 3-day trip last weekend... Bike sat out in the parking lot all night, was pretty cold that morning (30 degrees overnight). Probably not quite 40 when I started the bike to move it around into the sun. I let it warm up, then pulled the clutch in to stop and it stayed engaged for about 2 seconds, no more.


I already had the recall done a few weeks back. Only seen this behavior ONE time. Has anyone else experienced this? You think the cold had something to do with it? Pretty hard frost/freeze that night.

If you have any moisture (condensation) in your master cylinder or clutch cable, it could have frozen in your cable and caused a blockage. This would cause your clutch to not operate properly. You should probably bleed the system and all should be fine.

I would take it back to the dealer. My guess is that they did not get the fix correct.

I don't know... seemed fine after that.. we rode 300 miles that day and 150 the following day. It's getting to the point (here) that any more riding (including to the dealer) will be very limited. The wife "had to" ride today. Was 46 when we left and 42 when we got home. Can't feel my knees.
