Clutch Is Killin Me
#11
new cables will stretch for a while. it's normal for the cable to stretch until it's settled into its length, if that makes sense. after using it for a while, it'll keep its length and may require small adjustments as time goes by. but while everything else on the bike is breaking in, so is the cable. strands, being twisted to make up the cable have to settle in against each other so they do relax into position.

Your bike is under warranty; a warranty that you paid alot of money for whether you realize it or not. Why are you dinking around with this? If you attempt to fix it yourself, and you screw something up, you run the risk of voiding the warranty. When your bike is out of warranty, then fine, wrench on it till dawn, but for now, have them deal with it without financial risk to yourself.
It sounds like you have something more, than the normal new bike cable stretch, going on.

+1 with the problem.
My 09 Roadglide with only 6000 miles on it has run out of cable adjust also. The clutch pack had to be adjusted, after an over nite cooldown, to between 1/4 and 1/2 turn rather than 1/2 to 1 turn just so the threads in the cable would mate and be locked. I guess I better let the dealer deal with it under warranty.
