I adjusted the clutch on my 1200 xlc 2008 sportster but it is still slipping. what should i check next?
if you adjusted your clutch correctly and it's still slipping, it's time for clutch plates.
To adjust the clutch, find the cable adjuster in the center of the clutch cable. Loosen the locknut and turn the adjuster inwards and all the slack you can in the cable.
Pull the derby cover off and remove the spring and the locking nut. Turn the screw in the center all the way out counterclockwise. Then go back in 1/4 turn. Reinstall the locking nut and spring and the derby cover.
Go back to the cable adjuster and turn it outwards until you have about 1/8" freeplay. work the clutch a couple of times and recheck the freeplay.
If the clutch still slips, time for new friction plates.
Good Luck
Steve
