2007 Harley Davidson FLTR Road Glide Questions & Answers
2007 Road glide will not
Will the bike shift down to first gear with the engine OFF? If not, check to see if the shifter linkage is binding somewhere. This is very rare indeed. Even if the clutch is dragging, they will usually shift into gear with the bike stopped but if it will shift with the engine off but not with the engine running, you may need to adjust the clutch. To do this, find the cable adjuster in the middle of the clutch cable. Slide the rubber boot up or down exposing the adjuster. Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster inwards and get good deal of slack in the cable. Then, stand the bike as straight up and you can safely. Remove the derby cover. You'll see the clutch adjuster screw and lock nut right in the middle of the clutch assembly. Loosen the lock nut. Turn the center screw inwards until you feel a resistance. You may have back it off and turn it back in several times to get the feel of what you're doing. DO NOT FORCE THE SCREW. Once you have turned it inwards until you feel the resistance, back the screw back out 1/2 turn. Hold the screw in position and tighten the lock nut. Replace the derby cover. Go back to the cable adjuster and turn the adjuster barrel back out until you have about an 1/8 inch of freeplay in the cable.
Good luck
