| While coming back from Sturgis via Yellowstone we got in a 5 mile stop & go situation because some idiot stopped
to take a pic. of a moose. (no horns on it). But I digress. Since then my clutch friction point is about one inch from the end. This has caused me some problems when trying to do a tight turn or a U turn. Question is: can these Hyd. clutches be adjusted? If so, how? If not, what is the cure? I've been riding this Victory for two years and it's my first non Harley in 50 years. So I'm kind of a new-be. |

Okeana, OH United States | You say one inch from the end...Where was it before? My friction point has always been close to the end (about 3/4 of the total travel). My wife's HD is the opposite. It engages at about 1/4 of the total travel. I actually prefer that to mine. |

| Thanks for your response even though it wasn't what I wanted to hear. I didn't realize how far out the friction point was until going through some hair pen turns. And like you, I like the short duration to the friction point. More control. But again thanks.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | It sounds more like you may have a bubble in the line or in the reservoir. Mine was like that and it took a while to get the bubble out. Bled the line a few times without avail. What finally fixed it was taking the reservoir cover off, making sure unit was absolutely level, and slowly squeezing the lever. I could see a small bubble come out from the bottom of the reservoir. After that, my friction point went from close to the end, to 1/4 pull from the front. |

Central Illinois | Mine has been way too far out since the day I took delivery from the factory. After over 22000 miles it has not budged and is still near the end of travel on a release. |
