Buckster Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago January will see a major service on the Harley, 60,000 miles. Pretty sure it will be time for cam chain tensioners, if so I will also replace the inner cam bearings and fit adjustable push rods, I am pretty sure I have a lifter that sticks a little when cold so I will put new lifters in as well, I get an occasional "pop" when pulling to a stop if I have only done a couple of miles. Disappears when it is hot. Will also pull the forks and service them and replace the neck bearings. I have a new clutch cable to go on as well as the current one is at the adjustment limit.

It has been adjusted and the primary oil is changed on a regular basis. I service my bike properly as unlike you, I am a competent mechanic.

Those clutches last 100k easily if serviced regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
