Drain a few oz. of primary fluid... Maybe 4 oz.  Ride it until the primary has temperature, then let it sit until it returns to ambient and try it again.   Slightly to much primary lubricant will stick to your clutch plates when cold, causing your "lurch".  The combination of centrifugal force flinging the lubricant from your clutch plates and heat in the lubricant can allow your clutch to function normally when at temperature.

It's just barely to the sight glass(the fill line).Does it expand after warming up?  :confused5:

LOL sorry bro I just woke up! Ok I only put one quart in when I changed it. That put me to the bottom of the discs. Should definitely not be overfilled!

I haven't looked into it on the HD, but on other bikes I have/had I've shortened the pin between the lever and master to change the engagement/disengagement point of the lever to be closer to the grip. I don't know if this is possible on the HD though

Isn't an overfilled primary the most common issue with clutches, hydraulic or mechanical?

An air powered bleeder works great for bleeding these bikes. There is a separate thread already on her showing it's use.

My issue seems to be a little different. Its not a stock clutch in the 09 SERG but its been in the bike 12-15k miles. When the lever is released (all the way out) we are off and running. It almost seels like when I'm coming to a stop in first gear that the bike is still pulling. Not enough to drop the rpms but like the clutch is not completely engaging. Any ideas?

My bike lurches forward with clutch engaged when it's cold. Once it warms up it goes away?
Mine seems to be just the opposite. When its cold I can find neutral without much effort but once it warms up its hard. Clutch release is all the way out and it still feels like its pulling when the lever is fully pulled.
