No, seriously, dude. Learn to use single periods to end your sentences, and break your posts into paragraphs. Not only does it make it easier to read smaller chunks (rather than a dense wall of pointless text), but it will also help YOU keep on just one topic at a time, and organize your thoughts so that you're not just rambling randomly.
Adding lots of animations to your dense wall of text does not make it easier to parse, or make anyone feel more sorry for your plight.

Pretty much said the same thing they told me at the dealer when I asked what the hell was going on with the HydroClutch Recall Program... Evidently this system has multiple issues & they aren't sharing with the owners...
"Harley Davidson recalls a total of 22,483 of its 2014 Project Rushmore motorcycles due to problems with the clutch system.. Harley says the clutch master cylinder may allow air into the clutch system. Additionally, the motorcycles may have been assembled with an incorrect clutch release plate. Either condition may prevent the clutch from disengaging. Harley says if the clutch does not disengage, the rider may have difficulty slowing or stopping the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash. This is the 2nd time Harley recalled the same series of motorcycles built between the same dates. In October, Harley recalled over 29,000 motorcycles and trikes due to hydraulic clutch-system issues. This recall included a “Do Not Ride” notice for owners, and a “Do Not Deliver” notice for dealers." This is a link from last year but it gives some info about what the problem entails. http://www.adventuresportshub.com/ha...clutch-issues/
Is the MoCo hiding something from us??? Just try and get somebody to talk to you and tell you exactly what the problem is and what they are doing to fix it... I was told by the boss of the Service Manager that if they have technical information about the problem, they are not allowed to discuss it with the customers??? So from that I deduce that MoCo is not even being honest with the Dealerships. The just tell em we have a problem rebuild it using this kit. They were two separate recalls but they are both from last year. They have not yet recalled the recall repaired bikes.
On the clutch pack they accidentally put a few thrust plates in that were for cable bikes, the difference being the thrust bearing in a cable bike is on the other end, on a hydraulic bike the bearing is in that plate. So if you had the wrong one u would not have a bearing in there and things would be bad quickly, really doubt it would make it to 1k service without noise or issues. Must have been somebody's first day? Mike
Yes I saw that.
Just downloaded Recall bulletin 0154 for the clutch release plate issue &
SB M-1355 that covers the Hydraulic Master Cylinder
Titled: 2014 Touring Hydraulic Clutch: Safety Recall 0153
It details inspection for proper release plate and replacement parts for clutch master cylinder.

From the animated movie "The Incredibles":
When everyone is Super, no one will be.
And the link to the recall is OLD news.
I feel bad that something broke, or failed, or whatever, I think it is possible the OP's bike was somewhere in limbo when the recall came out, and it is further possible it somehow got missed.
I do not, however, believe the MOCO is "hiding" anything from us.
Folks on this board are usually better informed than the dealers.
