here is something I found on this board...If the problem comes right back after a couple of miles then your throwout bearing is shot and your not going to get a good adjustment until you replace that...

 

6200 miles and just adjusted again. adjusted the clutch at 1k and then 2-3 times since. i like little or no slack. also keep it oiled up. it helps. loosen the clutch adjustment all the way til you can just about slide the cable thru the slot on the mount. i then took some light oil and "injected" it with a syringe. then used a can of air to "shoot it into " the cable. then adjust the cable back to specs. made a big difference.....ride safe

 

wow every frickin post ive found is just another how to..adjust your clutch.this clutch is adjusted properly its an intermittent loosening,like going down the road and boom boom its loose ,,then its fine. guess its kiss my 7 yrs warrenty card and make an appointment.After thumbing through the manuel it looks like i doent want to tare into the clutch baskette lol think i will try to wait til late fall or winter.
Thank you all for helping me realize what it isn't

 

I had the same issue on my 08 Ultra. I removed the cable at the perch and taped/wire tied a ziploc around the cable, filled the ziploc with oil, strung it up vertically and let it sit overnight. Once the entire cable got lube from top to bottom the cable seems to be alot less "stretchy" and seems to work as it should.

 

This is normal for new bikes. Just spend two minutes adjusting your cable and the stretching will eventually stop.

 

Do all the above, plus:

Check your operating habits. If you tend to sit a red lights with clutch squeezed, then you are placing extra wear on your clutch release(throw out) bearing.

....Adjust clutch cold

...First adjust inside derby, then cable, paying particular attention to reset ***** in ramp before adjusting cable.

.....Check also to determine if cable is binding ANY amount when turned lock to lock....Do that by observing cable as you rotate bars AND checking lever freeplay as you turn bars lock to lock....If lever freeplay changes when bars are turned, then closely examine cable routing and correct.

 

jam nut on clutch adjuster screw fell off into primary case#^&*$&$#$%.... removed primary cover and there it was at the bottom.

 

I've had this happen. I tried to talk the service manager into trying to get the extended service plan to cover the repair. His answer was "A properly torqued fastener will never loosen up.". I looked at him with that look your dog does when he hears something odd. I asked him why there were lock washers on my motorcycle. I asked him why are there references to Loctite in mmy service manual. I asked him how long he had been in the H-D service business.

Then he looked at me the way your dog does when he hears something odd.

I have since talked with the service managers at three other dealerships and they all told me that they put one drop of blue Loctite on the adjuster lock nut.

 

Some of these managers have no mechanical apptitude and I swear only have there jobs by their ability to get you to go away..........
