This is pretty subtle, not annoying at all and supposedly is doing no harm. I have not heard of clutch failures being a problem with the 2017s. I am even getting to like the hydraulic slipper clutch.
I noticed this when I test drove a 107 Street Glide the weekend before last. Its weird for sure... Must have something to do with the slipper clutch?

I took one for a test and got the same feeling as Larry D stated - felt it in the handle and no friction zone to talk about ---- wouldn't take me long to get used to it....lots of Torque!

Its the same for finding -N-

Folks often say the bike broke in,I can find -N- now. I think its the rider and their brain finally figured it out. Same will go for the new feel of the clutch. See how smart we can be if we just let our brains work.

you truly have nothing better to do, do you greg except peruse the HDForum looking for issues to thread crap. Sad really.
Called me out by name, not going to respond. It will just get deleted. Suffice to say my clutch is working just find. It was a bit of a learning curve from my 16 SG. Figured it out on the ride home. Enjoy your bikes fellas.

You thread crap and then get pissed when someone calls you on it? Laughable.

Clucth on the 2017 harley bikes is bad. On each shift you get feed back from the clucth should not be there.

Don't they have some kind of slipper clutch in them now? Maybe that has something to do with that feedback.

Seems like I've seen posts about other people noticing that. Might not be "abnormal", but just some quirk in the system.
