07 Clutch Failure
Well, my 07 Ultra has been acting kinda strange recently, it felt like the clutch was slipping. But I only really noticed it if I was in 4th or 5th running about 2.5K RPM or higher, and then cranked it all the way down. I never noticed it taking off, or riding in the lower gears.
It's been doing this for a couple of weeks, and I finally dropped it off today. I just got a call from CTHD, the guy said my clutch is shot, and it's gonna cost $500 for a repair.
The bike has less than 10K, I don't ride the clutch, and I had the recommended service done at the dealer, with synthetic oil since new.
Of course, they refused to cover it under warranty. Can't say I'm a happy camper right now.

So what you are saying is you have paid for and had the clutch adjusted at the service intrivals and it failed at 10k now you are going to pay the same people to replace it and adjust it again? Just semes to me either you are very hard on a clutch and you said you are not or it was not getting adjusted properly. Im just sayin!

probably won't cover it although they should they willtell you it is a wearable part like brakes, I would look intoanother shop becauseif they did not care to adjust the clutch at your servicesor did not do itproperly if they did then I wouldent have any confidence the new clutch pack was installed properly. Not to depress you just my opinion for what it is worth. If you have toolsbuy a service manual and do it yourself it is not that hard to do and atleast you know it is right.

Disigned to wear yes, but not that quickly. With under 10K on the bike, I would argue that it is a manufacturing defect or adjustment issue. Both of which puts it on their dime, so yes, push the issue. If you can't get them to cover it under warranty, don't let them fix it. Take it to an indy shop that's not going to kill you on labor and, apparently, do a better job.

Who did you talk to at the dealer? Did you stop at the service writer or move up the management chain? I would push it up as far as I could and make a scene on the sales floor if required, that is just BS.
