Wow... some Harley riders never cease to amaze me. All that money for a bike and couldnt fork over the 30 bucks for the shop manual. As simple as clutch adjustments are, if its not something you can handle, just keep spending too much money and pay the $80 per hour for labor at the dealership to get it done.

Big Twins and Sportys are very similar for the most part. If you have a hydraulic clutch, you leave it alone as long as there is fluid and you don't feel "spongy"
Check behind the derby cover first then adjust your lever. Very easy process. Be sure to use a T-27 torx bit when you open the derby up on Evo motors and later. Many folks have stripped out the bolts by using the wrong torx head.

First of all ,do you have a hydraulically actuated clutch or a cable actuated clutch. The best advise ,go buy the manufactures Maintenance manual for your bike. It will have the clutch adjustment procedures in there. I believe the Manual will tell you that the adjustments will need to be done when its at room temp, don't take my word for it ,go buy the book.

with the clutch PEDAL in the toe down position(engaged) adjust the clutch operating rod at the transmission end to have a little slack, not more than 1/32 inch. thats how you adjust one harley clutch it may not apply to yours whatever model it is.

You don't adjust a harley davidson clutch... An H-D clutch adjusts you... then it breaks and/or falls off.

Depends on the model, all sportys are different than the big twins, and depends on the model of big twin.
