Default Clutch Lever bump........

Ok when I shift and let out clutch and am on the gas all seems fine as soon as I let of the gas my clutch lever settles or bumps, it moves. I keep a finger resting on it and can feel it. It happens ever time I shift, every Gear. It happens only the initial let off of gas, like it happens, then if I later (never shift gears) let off gas again it dont happen...........

Had the dealer look into it, they adjusted the clutch, still doing it.

Anyone else have this?

Any Ideas?

How many miles you got?
If you have low miles and the stealer adjusted the clutch, you may have worn the lining of the cable.
If you have high miles, your cable lining is worn (I replaced my cable at 18K and no more interesting lever action).
You may just have a crappy cable, crappy pressure plate, or crappy plates.

I ahve no idea how to check the cable, but the plateds should be perfectly flat and are easy (given that you need to take the clutch apart) to check.

My 07FLHX and 08 FLHTCU both have the same thing when letting off the throttle. Even my Jap bike had it, so I would say it`s normal.
It`s nice to have two new bikes to compare idiosyncrasies with....
