Easy pull clutch

[mesaaz54]

I recentley bought a 1998 FatBoy with an easy pull clutch. My question is has any one encountered a hard time getting there bike into neutral? The dealer were I bought the bike said its common when you install the easy pull .
Has anyone run up against this before and I am getting good information from my dealer??

Clutch adjustment is just a tad more sensitive with the easy boy but well worth it IMO. I have one and usually adjust 1/2 turn out on the clutch pack adjuster when doing the adjustment.

Finding neutral can also be a problem if you don't have a good GEAR LUBE like Spectro in the trans or if the primary is over full or the chain out of adjustment.

Glider has given you some great info and the adjustments need to be followed closely. I have found on my 94 FLSTC that I also have to make sure my primary chain is adjusted properly or finding neutral can be a bear.

Raising the revs a wee bit to about 1800 rpm will help with finding neutral

I have a 1998 Fatboy and installed the easy pull. My bike has always been difficult to find neutral. Adjusting the clutch pack per the manual will help. I haven't noticed what oil I run in the primary to make much difference. Good luck.

Changing the TRANS oil will help. Spectro oil will prove it too.

My 89 FLH was very hard to find neutral, I changed the gear lube to syn gear lube(Amsoil gear lube 75/90) and after about 500 miles it shifted much easier and neutral is a breeze now, I'd try the lube first.

Amazing how the right lube in the primary and tranny, combined with a proper clutch and primary chain adjustment will do, I have found by rolling forward and back with the clutch in just a few feet no more clunk:s

Red Line Shockproof Heavy is a good choice for the transmission too. I find that it is a bit easier to locate locally too. Red Line V-Twin Transmission oil is the same thing only repackaged.

It made a big difference on finding neutral on my 03. I too have the Easy Pull clutch.

Remove the easy pull box, adjust the clutch per Gliders instructions, re-install the easy pull. I have found this is the easiest way to get the adjustment right witrh the easy pull. Done it a bunch of times for friends that have installed one.

And the dealers line of neutral is harder to find with one installed, is just a reason to brush off the issue.
