You may find that if you take the clutch apart and "scuff" the friction discs and plates up a bit with emery paper, it will help and get you by until you can afford to spend a few bucks. Your only cost will be for a gasket.

I'm sorry, I've never owned a Harley but it's simple mathematics why there are so many used ones for sale.... they sell more... or rather, they put more on the street. They do that by innovative financing.... and they got that method from Ford. Ever wonder why there are more used Ford trucks around? ... coz they sell...errrr, put more people into them. Then what happens is many of those ppl come to the realization that they can't afford them and they try and flip 'em just to get outta debt.

Glad that you figured it out and your findings make perfect sense. -

So you've checked this while on the centre stand, rear wheel off the ground? Put a 2x4 under the wheel to act as a "lever" and raise the bottom of the wheel up and down to see if it shows movement while at the same time the swing arm doesn't move. Might also be swing arm bushings?? -

What he said. I like going anywhere, anytime on the RSMV just because it's an "attention getter" coz without it, nobody notices me...

not quite clear on the above... do you mean there's up and down "free play" in the wheel..?? First thing that comes to my mind is bearings -
I had no problems with the cables... guess I was "one of the lucky ones". As for installing the risers, just unbolt the handlebars and lift them up. Slide one riser in from the side, slide the other riser in from the other side, put the cap and bolts back on and tighten it down. The top bolts should be tightened before the bottom ones. Tighten the top ones to a "snug" fit and then crank the bottom ones down...then tighten a bit more on the top. (I believe that's the correct procedure).

I usually put it all back together... Then I clean and polish it. Then I go for a ride and get it all dirty. Seriously tho, I don't "winter store" the bike. It sits in my garage and I do various maintenance tasks, add more safety chrome, drool over it, sit on it and imagine I'm on a ride... by the time the weather is permitting enuf for a ride, everything is done and it's ready to roll.

I am running the stock Dunlop rear tire. I replaced the stock front tire with a Bridgestone Spitfire 130/90 (stock is 150). I noticed the bike wanted to wander while going in a straight line. It was as if I had a flat rear tire. I was running 38lbs front and 46lbs rear. I dropped the rear to 42lbs and like magic, it tracks straight now. Try making small adjustments to the tire pressure. A couple lbs here and there can make all the difference.

I tried it with just one (from the aft end) drilled out. Wasn't enuf for me... I then drilled out all 3 and really like them now.

Just means I go to bed later and wake up later.

Canadian Tire sells NGK which is what you want and they will have the plug part number in their system ( it's DPR8EA-9 for the standard plug and DPR8EIX-9 for the premium) and no, you don't have to remove the tank but frankly, it's easier and it doesn't take a lot to remove it. Also Iridium plugs is what I use... DPR8EIX-9
