So I have searched for a few hours on an issue I had this morning. I pulled the bike out to go to work (bike is always in neutral in garage) parked it in the driveway and put on my gear. I get on the bike that is running, pull in the clutch and put it in gear. The bike shuts off and I let go of the clutch lever. I pull it in and it goes right to the bar with no resistance. I say that master cylinder isn't working, I don't know how this system works because its my first Harley with this type of setup. What is on the other end of this setup? I just turned 15K on the bike. Is there any issues with this setup? The bike has been fine, didn't have any thing going on before this.
2017 flhtkl, 15k miles no add ons.

What do you think?

 

There are reports of hydraulic issues with the master. If it's still under warranty, take it in or have it picked up. Under the transmission side cover, there is a slave actuator that pushes the clutch release pushrod. It too could be bad.

 

Did the clutch recover?

 

no it didn't recover

 

ok, same as some of my other bikes not in my sig.

 

 

just called the dealer, they can get me in tomorrow. this time of year they are normally booked for a month????

 

So------ I get home ready to pull out the trailer and guess what, clutch is back and seems to be fine????? So I take it out for a ride and its still good. I went and filled up and still working, so I ride to the dealer to let them make a call as to what is next. I figured they would say can't duplicate the problem so keep riding it till it happens again. I pull in and the dealer says they want to check the moisture in the clutch fluid, hmmm sounds like they have seen this before. I'm going to take it back to the dealer after my better half gets home, don't have to take the trailer out.
Has anyone been in this spot?

 

had it happen on my Honda Civic. it was the slave cylinder, I wouldn't ride it. it will happen again unless fixed.
