Slight clutch engagement

[mnultra]

I have an 09 Ultra with just shy of 500 miles on it. I noticed this last weekend that when the bike was cold, with the clutch in and in first gear, I could tell that the clutch wasn't totally disengaged. Certainly not to the point that I had to hold the brake to keep it from moving but just a little annoying. Is this normal for break in? I have not changed the primary or transmission fluids yet (This weekends project - no worries - Spectro 6 speed and HD Formula +) but thought it would be a good time to adjust the clutch with the cover off already if you guys thought that was the issue.

Any thoughts?

The parasitic drag that the heavier oil has between the clutch plates will give you this sensation when the oil is cold (drag) which should diminish when warmed up. A clutch adjustment is a good idea in any event to assure it is where it should be after the break in.

Thanks Glider! I would like to say "That's what I thought" but I wouldn't have posted the question if that was truly the case

Better to ask and be sure than making a costly mistake.:s
