Recently adjusted clutch cable and clutch pack to service manual specs for a 2008 FLHX.
After said adjustment is made there appears to be only a couple of threads left for future service. Is this normal or am I missing something? Thanks

 

Cables and chains stretch normal occurrence once they stretch to their limit they need to be replaced. Chains can have links removed. If you have the ability to remake the cable with new ferrule than u can service them too

 

adjust the clutch as per the manual



then


adjust the cable


do one


then the other


I put it this way becuase more than one new owner has tried the cable adjuster and negatively affected the clutch...and the clutch cable.


if your adjustments are correct, and it works, then great.

and maybe somewhere down the road you'll have to replace the cable if it has stretched.

I replaced the cable on my '53, the cables on my evos have lasted over 20 years...

Not 100%, but I think you can get a small ferrule/spacer that attaches where the cable enters the hand control. It effectively shortens the cable a little giving you a little more adjustment.

Not OEM Harley, but aftermarket.

 

Tanks a lot for the info

 

Replaced clutch cable. Problem solved.
