The clutch on my 09 SG does not want to stay properly adjusted. I have adjusted it several times and it always wants to loosen up at the lever. Don't get me wrong, it is working perfectly with engaging and disengaging, but as I put more miles on the bike, the clutch wants to loosen up at the lever. In fact I have ran out of threads on the cable adjustment and had to readjust at the clutch itself right after the 1000 mile service (did myself). Now I am about to run out of threads again because I have had to tighen up the 1/4 gap at the lever a couple times. I have read about cable stretch, but the is ridiculous..any suggestions?

thanks

did you let the dealer know its still under warranty if something is wrong

 

Have not taken it to the dealer, figured I'd see on here if I am doing something wrong or get a solution to the problem. The dealer is the next step.

thanks

 

My cable stretched for the first few thousand miles but I never ran out of adjustment before it finally stopped stretching. Bad cable perhaps.

 

I would take it to the dealer and pass on the Fix it myself, especially if it's under warranty.

 

sounds like its loose inside the primary... pull the cover and check

 

Mine is requiring more attention than I`m used to giving too. Seems like the cable keeps stretching and I`m just not happy with it once I get it where I want it gets loose again. I`m not hard on clutches either. Curious what responses you`ll get here and I intend to talk to my dealer about it. I`ve adjusted it per the manual at the primary first and then the cable too, just seems to loosen up (play at lever)

 

I have the same issue on my 09 Ultra - cable stretch. Just had it adjusted again about 300 miles ago and keeping an eye on it.

 

+1 same here. I have to adjust it like every 1000 miles. I Need a new cable perhaps...

i have never adjusted my cable ,however it does rattle even after i had the chrome housings and levers installed.one would think that after somthing is installed it would be adjusted properly .guess it's normal
