Also check out the mods/tips on the web site for clutch info. You cannot adjust it, but if a fluid change helps, that might keep you going until your winter overhaul.

How many miles on your bike?  When did you last change your clutch fluid?  If your clutch fluid is getting medium coffee color, time for a change.  New fluid is clear, the older it gets , the darker it gets.  The fluid also gets crystals in it as it heats.  Many times the crystals clog the pressure relief hole in the master cylinder causing the clutch to disengage.   It is a cheap and easy thing to check before you get your clutch torn apart.  Only cost you 15 min and $5 of fluid.

I noticed this weekend some clutch slippage going on when I was getting on the interstate .. my question is can I adjust it for the time being and replace it this winter or do it now I hope I can adjust it for now..its a 99 1500 Drifter and I never really ride it hard.      Thanks      Rick
