Also check the primary fluid level. According to the service manual, too much primary oil will cause clutch plate sticking. The 06 Dynas take exactly 32oz.

That is most likely the oil causing the clutch to drag until it gets warmed up. I'm going to get a quart of the redline MTL and try it at my 1000 oil change and see if it stops that. The redline oil tech mentioned that to me when I called about their oils.

 

I figured it was normal...

Synthetics soon. Once I'm doing my own service.

 

How many miles you have on it?? I've noticed on my 06 DWG when first riding, when taking off the clutch gets a little grabby. After it gets warmed up, it seems to disappear until the next day. If could just be because the clutch plates are still new... but I'm just guessing here.. The next time I have mine out, I'll see if it lurches like yours does, but I think I would have noticed that ...

 

My bike has 300 miles on it. This morning I tried pushing the bike cold, in gear, but with clutch pulled in. Unable to push it. Had to put it in neutral. OR start the bike and "break the seal".

I do notice that when bike is first started, the clutch is very sensitive. i.e., don't have to release it much for the gears to engage. After it warms up, level has to be released about 1/2 way to engage. Another symptom of thick fluid, I think.

 

My 06 dyna does the same thing. It's due to the wet clutch not having enough oil on it. As soon as you ride down the street and the primary oil gets inside the clutch plates real good it goes away.

 

My '06 Super Glide does the same thing, however I didn't really notice it until I started a couple of time in gear, because of the loud clunk when put in to gear. At 3900 miles everything works great after I get the bike down the street to the stop sign.

 

Try this. Hold the clutch in, start the bike. Continue holding the clutch. Wait about 20 seconds, then drop it into gear.

Every bike I've had will do the clunk & lurch if you drop it into gear shortly after starting it. I have phound that if you hold the clutch phor a while phirst, no clunk, no lurch.

 

My 05 Ducati Monster did the same thing every morning, and I always let that warm up for a bit before I took off. My 06 Super Glide doesnt do it.

 

you can also put it in gear pull the clutch in and rock the bike to break it free then start it
