ADJUSTMENT

If clutch slips under load or drags when released, first check
control cable adjustment. If cable adjustment is within specific-
ations, adjust clutch mechanism as described below.
When necessary, lubricate cable with Harley Lube (Part No.
HD-94968-09).
1. Position the vehicle upright and level. This will prevent
lubricant from draining out when clutch inspection cover
is removed.
2. See Figure 1-18. Slide rubber boot (1) upward to expose
adjuster mechanism. Loosen jam nut (3) from adjuster (4).
Turn adjuster to shorten cable housing until there is a large
amount of free play at clutch hand lever.
3. See Figure 1-16. Remove three fasteners and washers
from clutch inspection cover. Remove clutch inspection
cover and gasket from primary cover.
4. See Figure 1-19. Remove spring (1) and lockplate (2).
Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn adjusting screw (3)
counterclockwise until it lightly bottoms.
5. Turn adjusting screw clockwise 1/4-1/2 turn. Install lock-
plate and spring on adjusting screw flats. If hex on lock-
plate does not align with recess in outer ramp, rotate
adjusting screw clockwise until it aligns.
NOTES
All Ulysses models now incorporate a hook for the clutch
cable into the handlebar assembly. The purpose of this
hook is to control the routing of the clutch cable so it will
not interfere with the instrument cluster mounted to the
front of the upper fork clamp.
All cable adjustments for the Ulysses models are to be
performed with the clutch cable free from the handlebar
