I have a 2008 FLHP adjusted clutch seems to work fine 1 thur 3 but in 4 thu 6 seems to be slipping engine over revs it you are getting on it pretty hard newbe help me figure this out.

 

I'm not sure if you're saying you adjusted the clutch, or the clutch cable. If you only adjusted the cable, you should try taking off the derby cover and adjusting the clutch pack. It is a simple procedure. You should buy a service manual to get step-by-step instructions for this. Also, be sure you have 1/8" end play in the clutch cable at the lever housing.

 

Thanks adjusted cable and clutch still have the same problem.

 

A clutch on it's way out will slip in higher gears. It's either the clutch about ready to fail, or the adjustment is off. You might need more freeplay in the cable, or it's time to replace it. How many turns did you back off the adjuster screw at the clutch pack?

 

If you can be going along in 5th at lets say 50mph and wot it and your engine tacks up and the speed does not you probably have been slipping slightly for a while and have worn out the clutch. It was probably slipping in 1-3 and you just did not notice it. The clutch must have gotten way out of adjustment causing it to slip. If you had 1/2-1 turn loose on the clutch nut and 1/6 to 1/8 lever free play I am not sure how normal driving would ever wear this clutch out. Considering its size and number of plates for a 1000 lb Harley, its bigger then a Mac dump truck.

 

I thinlk 1/2 a turn after I turned it in until it was tight.

 

gfr000 bought this bike it has done this since I bought it,it had a salvage title just cosmetic damage and now this problem.

 

The bike has 11000 miles on it and I cant believe the clutch is bad maybe I didnt adjust it properly just dont know where to go from here if I reajust the cable and the clutch and have the same problem then what next?

 

Get a set of friction and steels and replace them. Be like a new clutch then for anywhere from $100-$150. Simple fix and might be the right one depending on how the police treated the bike (parking lot practice, etc.)

 

For 30 bucks you might want to try a SE clutch spring. If it's too late you can still use it with the new plates.
