    This should help me explain better…”In October 2018, Harley-Davidson recalled 238,300 motorcycles, including the 2018 115th Anniversary Street Glide, due to a potential clutch failure issue. The recall affected all 2017 and 2018 touring and trike models, as well as some 2017 Softails. The issue was caused by an internal leak in the hydraulic clutch system's secondary clutch actuator, which could expose the hydraulic clutch circuit to air and prevent the clutch from disengaging.”

    Either the slave cylinder lever/plunger isn't throwing deep enough OR the clutch disc's are two thick and can't separate away from each other..... pretty simple....
    The"lerching" tells you that the clutch plates aren't separating enough to disengage the motor from the the trans gears.....
    Barnet clutches are made to "clamp" together, pretty hard....

    I had a 2017 Roadglide. In the first 1000 miles, the wiring harness shorted out, the throttle by wire went out in rush hour traffic, and the oil system exploded and threw a piston. Needless to say, it went away as a Lemon. I replaced it with a more dependable bike.

      I have a Honda VTX 1300 and have gone over 100,000 miles without any problems at all with the engine or transmission. Perfect dependability. I bought the bike brand new on sale for 7,500 dollars. I could probably only sell the bike now for about 3,000 dollars so it's true that the resell value maybe isn't that good... but think about it.... Go 100,000 trouble free miles for 4,500 dollars. That's pretty good. Yeah Honda.

    It is so frustrating when we are told what is wrong with our bikes is because our "balls" are on our chest. We know our bikes. I have a 21 RGS with the cabled clutch. The piece to adjust clutch is plastic and breaks easily. The replacement part is metal and only $50, well worth changing before it breaks. Good luck with future endeavors.

  • @tennwingman3350

    Its a good thing that you cannot put it in neutral at the red light, should always be ready to move in case that car behind you is on the phone and cannot stop. Off set and be ready to move is the real recommended technique for red lights. So many riders have been rear ended by not being in the right spot and ready to react. Reevaluate your riding please to stay alive. Drinking and riding and having no clue what the right moves to do to save your life can also be real dangerous for those that ride with you. OK, preaching over, nice bike and good luck. Be safe, have fun.

    • @Retiredgemini
      @Retiredgemini  17 днів тому +1

      Yes and no. What I didn’t say was the safety switch had to be replaced as well. So when it was not working, the bike would not start in gear at all, It was always something with this bike. That assembly was about $400 plus labor.

    you better find yourself a better mechanic before your new bike gets F'ed up. the adjustment you can't do on a hydraulic clutch is the position of the friction zone but there are solutions for that sold. your lurch is either in the clutch not fully disengaged (as others have said) or in the trans.
