Seems like my clutch cable on my 09 Ultra is hard to pull. I've got about 10k on the bike and had it's 10k service just a couple of weeks ago. The shop lubed the cable and it was like butter, requiring very little effort. Now just about 500 miles later it is right back where it was. It's not bad and I'm not really complaining just wondering how often do you have to lube the cable and how long should it last when you do.

 

check that the adjustment and free play is correct, if it's not adjusted right it will be difficult to pull back. you can check your manual but the free play should be 1/16th of an inch. if the clutch cable is overtightened you'll get a very tight clutch.

 

Warranty..... let the dealer work on it.....

 

Ditto!! If it continues there are fixes that cut the operating pressure 40%.
