Default 120R + Rivera Primo - Pro Clutch 1056-0020 - slipping

Any hints?

It has gold springs. No Lock up - yet. Just seeing if there is anything anyone can suggest?

Just got off the phone with Rivera Primo - Ben.

He had a look at the dyno sheet. Said to go over the clutch, as it should easily handle the 120R. Especially with the GOLD spring.

Also look at fluid level, too much isn't a good thing either.

He mentioned ATF, but there was problems with the SE Compensator?

How is it working out for you? I know others are using it. Looking to get one myself. My current SE setup is too much for me to handle.

One thing on the Primo proclutch that is important is to make sure that the spring plate is not compressed to far when the clutch is engaged. Look at the plate from the side and make sure that it is not completely flat.... this can be adjusted by putting shims in the clutch... go the the PR website they have a very good explanation...I thought I had clutch issues... it was slipping...took a hard look at the clutch spring, found it to be too flat...so I added a shim behind each of the nuts that hold the clutch together...hope this helps....

Used the Rivera Primo Pro Clutch in my 2009 Street glide, wondering the same thing. Rivera primo says no more than 20 ounces of dex-merk tranny fluid, or clutch will slip. But is that enough to keep the compensator lubricated? Especially since harley has updated their se compensator with a plastic deflector to get more oil to the comp sprocket.

I was looking at my history, and saw you replied to this old thread. No worries, just I see it more and more, I'm just trying to see the last post...


Anyhow - yesterday pulled the gold spring and installed the Rivera Primo Black spring with a VPC set. The install wasn't very difficult - but the spacer will end up a bit of a pita. It is SO MUCH lighter than the gold spring, that this has to be a good thing. Especially in Sturgis where the clutch will be pulled in and held a LOT. Also the slow speed maneuvers are a lot easier when you're not killing your hand with the tough guy one. I handled the gold well, but this will be a breeze.

I'm considering the Baker Compensator when in Sturgis, I considered the DD7, but I'd like to talk to them a little bit about the DD7. I don't mind losing the dummy light, but I need to confirm cruise control. I run cruise a lot up here in Canada, and on long trips.
