I must be living right because I've had 4 Harley's over the years, two new and two I bought used with extremely low miles on them and all four have had very good clutches in them. Two of the bikes I rode to over 100,000 miles each and they still have the original clutches in them. One of them I sold to my nephew and I still have the other bike. Both of those had a cable clutch. I probably only had to adjust the lower adjustment twice on either of those bikes in their lifetime. I have both a '17 RGS and a '14 RK now as well and both of them have very nice feeling clutches in them with a nice wide and smooth friction zones. I didn't do anything special as far as break in is concerned on any of my bikes. I use the friction zone a lot on the '17 RGS because it has an aggressive aftermarket stage two cam in it so in round a bout and parking lots I'm up a gear and using the friction zone to avoid monkey throttle. I don't ride my bikes with my hair on fire or putt around on them either, I would describe my riding as moderate. Personally I like the feel of the cable clutch better than the one bike I have that has a hydraulic clutch because it has a slightly narrower friction zone but that's JMO. I'm really fine with either.
Converting to Hydraulic is a great decision in my opinion. I'm looking forward to that video! I have a 2020 FLHP, but when the time comes to get a new motor, I'll definitely convert it to hydraulic. Thanks for all you do, I'm a big fan of your channel!
As a person with small hands..I had fined tuned the clutch and had it perfect after adjusting the plastic OEM clutch adjuster. I just changed the OEM to the fat bagger piece and my clutch was impossible to tune it back to where I had it. I have small hands. I now had to get new levers in order to make it work for me.
Yah, levers for small hands are the way to go for sure. Get it right wehre you want it. Even if you adjust the clutch cable, the plates will wear and you'll have to adjust again and again.
Great stuff Scrappy! I’ve never thought about the process of breaking in a clutch. Thanks for your commitment and dedication to not only the biker community but your dedication to the LE 🫡 world. Please stay safe brother - hope to see you in Sturgis. 🤜🏼🤜🏼
Absolutely you’re putting it through a heat cycle. You should break in your brakes the same way especially on a car truck or something. You put new brakes on it’s called seeding them.
OEM style kit is all we use on our police bikes. They are solid. When we do finally need a clutch down the road, we do upgrade to Screamin' Eagle clutch, just for a little longer life.
Hmm… I bought a 2023 RoadGlide was practicing friction zone for a good 30 minutes until I notice my fan was constantly on and my clutch pull was really bad. Clutch adjustment is not new to me, and I did that to my last Harley at 5k miles. But this was around 300 miles. Then I said to myself, it’s the way I use that bike. So next day I just see if it gets better. Stays the same for the next 3 days until I decided to release the auto-adjuster spring on the cable and reseat it when it’s firm. There broke in! What did I achieve from this? Possibly an early Clutch repair that will be due based on abuse, so I try to not do friction zone practices anymore and had a similar class that I was about to use my motorcycle and decided to opt for using the class’s motorcycle. I’ve been riding and wrenching for at least a good 12 years. And I can tell you, the only thing you need to brake in is your engine and your tire. Everything else is just abuse and worn out sooner.
I actually have 22,000 miles on my original clutch on my police bike. I've trained and ran it daily. I have seen new students overuse the friction zone and that will definitely not be good. We train them to work out of that issue. If you use it right, it will last a very long time, even when training adn riding hard. ride safe
@@RyanUrlacherstudents typically have too high rpm while fully in the friction zone while standing on the rear brake, which can kill a clutch quickly. A well trained motor office will ride the course hard, yet be in and out of the friction zone due to muscle memory. You are correct sir.
@@RyanUrlacher Take a bucket of piss and called it Granny’s Peach Tea. Was not even using the rear brake at all. I in fact never use my rear break. The practice that I was doing was swerving left and right between 5 stops and repeating in a loop pattern for 30 minutes. Not my usual practice, was just giving this a shot. Anywho this is the internet. Better yet this is CZcams. Any comments is true to the general public long as someone else never experienced this. And when they do, they don’t have the balls to admit they did. After all this content is to promote friction zone, of course nothing can go wrong until something actually goes wrong. I rest my case. I’m no usual rider. And I wasn’t born yesterday just keep those two in mind. And I gave up promoting content to CZcams about 2 years ago. Obviously I have a real life career behind a camera.
If/when you ever retire from your LEO job, you could always be an instructor either by videos or IRL. If you had a school, I would sign up. You're only 662 miles away. 😃
@RyanUrlacher Staying tuned.m I might be up there next week (I'm taking a fishing vacation trip) and want to explore North eastern Oregon. Hoping to stop by the LAB store and pick up a biker gripper and who k own what else.
Just started my cone practice patterns, after my 1000 mile breaking on 24RG. Man, that throttle is sensitive (even in rain mode). My throttle control during slow speed maneuvering is jerky. Guess, more I practice, the smoother my throttle control will be, it's challenging. I pay attention to engine temp reading (trip button readings), it gets hot quickly.
That's true, every time I get a new bike its an adjustment period figuring out my new one now. I find if I can stay in 2nd gear with a small amount of gas to be better for corners, but I have had a really nice clutch that was broken in on a older bike, it was loose, wide range, and super forgiving, and wouldn't jerk before on the electra glide.

Thanks for making these videos. It’s making a real contribution to the biker community.
Thanks so much!! Appreciate that. Working hard to try and help bikers.

Thanks so much for your support.
I would be very interested in that upgrade. Make sure to notify me when you do that!
I have a 24 TriGlide
From a technical standpoint your videos are good and informative.
You got my attention.
Right on

Yah bro!!! Thanks, escort recert coming up in Spokane!!
I'm curious to hear what HD thinks about this.
Nothing. Like all manufacturers, they'll tell you base line very safe info that's in line with what their attorney's tell them to say.
Absolutely you’re putting it through a heat cycle. You should break in your brakes the same way especially on a car truck or something. You put new brakes on it’s called seeding them.
Yup 👍
Do you suggest running an extra plate kit or get OEM style clutch
OEM style kit is all we use on our police bikes. They are solid. When we do finally need a clutch down the road, we do upgrade to Screamin' Eagle clutch, just for a little longer life.
@@RyanUrlacher thanks I have 30k on my heritage have been debating on the screamin’ eagle clutch
Cool info and very nice riding Ryan! Thank you! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
So can u explain the difference between hydrolic vs cable clutch? And advantages/diadvantages of both?
Check this video out. Near the end where I talk about it ==> czcams.com/video/jzjEtEMQ2nk/video.html

Hello Sir, new to your channel. I am not a cruiser rider, but I enjoy watching few of your videoe. Keep up the good work.
Thanks and welcome
I just follow the owners manual.
That's what the Mo Co wants you to do. They won't tell you the good stuff. Ride safe.
If/when you ever retire from your LEO job, you could always be an instructor either by videos or IRL.
If you had a school, I would sign up. You're only 662 miles away. 😃
We plan on adding that arm to the overall business when I retire, which is very soon. Stay tuned.
@RyanUrlacher
Staying tuned.m
I might be up there next week (I'm taking a fishing vacation trip) and want to explore North eastern Oregon.
Hoping to stop by the LAB store and pick up a biker gripper and who k own what else.
I have 700 miles on my new 2023 street glide. Is it too late to break in the clutch like this?
Hi, what windshield do you have?
Tha's a windsplitter 8" light smoked.
Thank you
Do you have clutch and brake handle for 2017 indian roadmaster as you sell for harleys
TY sir
U betcha
Not me, I hit the friction zone then I hit the rev limiter and hold it for as long as I can. Just kidding folks, never do that. 😉
Hahahaha
Go ahead driver
👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That windshield is a bit bothersome with that distortion…. I have a Freedom Shields windshield That has no distortion…
I don't look through it. Over it.
@@RyanUrlacherunderstand that but to me still distracting
