Default clutch adjustment

I have an 08 Road King with 13K miles. I changed the trans fluid to Redline HD with shockproof as discussed on the forum. I still get a lot of noise when shifting thru gears, mostly up. Do I need a clutch adjust? Also, I can't find anything in service manual on lubricating the cable. How is this performed? Thanks.

You know one of those clips you use as a roach clip, the ones that have a rubber cover on them?
Take the rubber cover off the clip and slip the cover (small end first) over the top of the diconected cable down to where the cable cover starts.
Tape ruber cover to cable cover and fill with oil, prop cable so it will not fall and go have a beer.
Cable oiled

There are plenty of threads on clutch adjustment. Be sure your cable requires lube. Later model cables have a liner that eliminates need to lube and will be detrimental to it if lubed.
