hydraulic clutch adjustment?
« on: November 18, 2017, 02:32:08 PM »

OK I am new to the Harley stuff so i will share what i have found on my 2014 Brake out cvo
my finding might not be true for all of you but it worked for me
i was noticing alot of drag on the bike when i was in first gear with the clutch pulled all the way in with the bike off while moving it
to me there should  be some but not what i was having  i will make this sort and sweet my findings were
the throwout bearing that Harley uses is a standard roller bearing so i changed to an ANGULAR CONTACT BALL BEARING
so the load is applied in one direction this helped still not getting the lift to disengage the clutch fully
i started to check the newer Haley's set up and i found the 2017 use a push rod assembly that is only 2 Pisces
so i purchased the newer style  and installed it so now i got the lift in need no more drag
the original was 4 separate pieces the new one was 2 oh and the Harley CLUNK IS GONE
Gear changes are like a hot knife cutting butter the whole set up cost me around 50 dollars if you want part # send me a message
anyway Ride Safe PS if your clutch is grabbing as soon as you start to release this will fix that   thanks Eng13

I will be following this as the "KLUNK" on my bike is very annoying

Have you have the recall done on your bike for the issue with the clutch

Have you have the recall done on your bike for the issue with the clutch

In the mean time rodrocket,... What will help with your "KLUNKING" issue, (in "N" to first) give the throttle a short quick snap  at the same time clutch and shift to first. It'll take a bit too get the hang of but you'll find it will lower and once you get the hang of it eliminate the "KLUNKING" into gear or at least reduce it by 75%. Do the same thing on up shifting as well as down shifting (clutch short snap throttle shift) it'll make it smoother with no or limited "KLUNKING".
Also if you find it hard to get into "N" a quick short snap on the throttle at the same time shift to "N" again takes getting the hang of but it will slide into "N". The rev and shift timing smoothens annoying "KLUNKING"
The trick is to get the shift at the point of rev change.

YES i had the recall done all they did was check to see if the clutch master cylinder would not bleed down i had already flushed the system and put synthetic fluid and pressure bleed it at the slave cylinder to the master     
look the bottom line its 30 dollars try it you'll like it if it doesn't work i will buy lunch but you have to come to my neighborhood
Cheers..

Remember you have a 14 lb clutch assembly  sitting out on the end of the main shaft plus a. 5.83 lb mainshaft itself . When you pull the clutch in there is some momentum there, unless you wait a while it's always going to clunk. I put the ,17 scissor gear in mine took care of most all of it

Hey Tex ,
you already have the 2 piece set up that I mentioned  above you are a 100% correct that there will be some drag in the drive set up
like i stated there was way too much in fact when i took my clutch apart there was a mix of clutch drive and driven disk
and there were burnt before i did the change on a flat surface in first gear you could feel the bike ever soo slight pulling forward
now with the bike in gear clutch pulled it moves freely  i checked the microfiche so from 2015 and on harley started the newer 2 piece assembly on all the cvo's  have a nice day ride safe
