How To Properly Lubricate & Adjust The Clutch Cable - Harley Davidson

This is a step by step instructional video on how to properly lubricate & adjust the clutch cable on a Harley Davidson. While I’m working on a 2006 Night Train (FXSTBI), this video applies to pretty much all Harley years & models with a cable driven clutch. The clutch system hasn’t changed in decades and is used across the entire Harley line up (Softails, Dynas, Touring, VRods & Sportsters). While components may have changed slightly, the overall function & adjustment has not.

Lubricating your clutch cable is as important a procedure as changing the engine oil. Without lube the clutch cable can become hard to move, rust, and potentially snap over time. Lubricating the clutch cable will prevent it from rusting, make it move easier and allow it to last a lot longer. You should lube your clutch cable every 10k miles or so and only takes about a half hour (even if you take your time).

This job is fairly straight forward, but there is a little bit of finesse to get the clutch cable adjustment right. I’ll cover various tips & tricks to make this job quick, clean & easy. I hope to take a lot of the mystery and fear out of lubing & adjusting your clutch cable.
