Ok, its been a long few weeks, gave the fiancee the boot and changed some bars on the bike. Now for the part I need help on. 2008 Softail swap out a clutch cable. Remove old cable. Install new cable, put all the slack in the cable, turn adjuster screw until lightly bottomed, back off 1/2 to 1 turn. Adjust remainder of cable off the cable adjuster. I have a clutch and can watch the pressure plate move a good 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch or so, but if you put the bike in gear and throw the clutch in it will not roll.
At first i thought it was the throw on the cable but we installed a harley extended cable with the same throw tonight and we have the same problem. I squeezed the clutch a few times prior to adjustment to set the ramps and the clutch feels good, except its not engaging.
I need some help understanding what else I need to do. Its frusting since I've swapped a lot of these out in the past and never had this problem. Any and ALL help is appreciated.
