Check the adjustment at the clutch push rod.. If that doesn't fix it, you replace the clutch plates and springs. Check out all the videos. It seems to be a known issue.
YES
if the clutch cable or hydraulic system is not properly adjusted , the clutch will slip the same as a car clutch on acceleration
if the wrong oil in the clutch housing/transmission is used or there is a friction proofing additive used that will also make the clutch slip
take it to a harley service center and have it properly diagnosed and fixed
check that the clutch master cylinder is operating correctly as the clutch is slipping
this may be from the compensating pot being blocked and holding the pressure plate off slightly
if it is a cable clutch then replace the cable
if the clutch system is properly releasing and engaging the clutch then the fix is a new clutch kit
At start up is when the maximum friction control is required as it has to get the vehicle moving . This problem is indicative of a faulty clutch master cylinder (replace ) or a weak pressure plate spring in the clutch assembly, oil on the clutch lining or almost worn out . Try the master cylinder first as it is the cheapest fix but other than that the box will have to come out for a new clutch kit.
many modern transmissions use a 30 grade straight mineral oil in the box but experience shows that a 80-90 grade OEP oil is still the best for long transmission life
However incorrect oil in the transmission will not make it leak or slip as that section is a clutch problem and if you have oil from the bell housing and a slipping clutch it indicates an over full transmission blowing out the input shaft seal and destroying the clutch
the original occasional slipping clutch indicates a problem in the clutch master cylinder or clutch cable and would have been a cheap fix but by allowing a person who is not trained in procedures , the fix will be in excess of $1000.00 as you now require a new clutch kit and front seal in the transmission
You need to replace the clutch slave.....Ii recently did mine, after the installation it was stuck too.......the way I fix it was I had a friend pumping the clutch by hand while I bleed it under the car, it took about 15-20 minutes before it got hard again. Good luck!
if it slips u need a new clutch. not a home mechanic job unless you have a complele set of tools, a heavy duty floor jack and safety stands, the car will need to be at least 3 feet off the ground.
