Grabby clutch
Hi all,
I have an 02 FLSTC, everything seems to run fine but when I am pulling off from a stop my clutch "bites" at the end of the engagement. I have tried to be as smooth as possible with the release but still I can feel it grab as it engages. It does not matter if the engine is hot or cold or what kind of rpm's I am using when taking off. I have had a couple of other harleys and do not remember them engaging this way. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks,
Gene

I run Mobile Synthetic 75/90 in the trans and My Low Rider loves it.
Drain it hot and let it stop dripping then put in what the manual says.

I have had Mobile V-Twin in the engine and primary since 1500 miles. I am at 7500+ and my clutch don't slip.

It's noticable in an engine that has higher than stock output. In a stock motor, you may not notice/experience the slippage but it is known that it causes slippage in the clutch plates with synthetics in there on motors that have significantly higher output than stock. It's called a friction modifier in the oil that does it.
