Just curious, everytime im at stop light, my clutch is so freaking hard to put in neautral. It runs fine and shifts good on the road, . But when it comes to a light I have to find neautral before or I have to keep my damn hand on clutch. Which sucks , then I have to turn off bike to put in neautral. One person said it might be the clutch disks,. Worn out, . I am the second owner. Has 13,200 miles on it. All fluids been changed and clean. Please help. I cant stand it. Want to take a ride with the lady but I just dont trust it..

Could be a simple clutch adjustment. But, it's possible the clutch hub nut is a little loose as well. I would try the adjustment first. If that does not correct problem, you might need to open up primary to inspect the clutch further.
If it's not slipping in high gear, that's a good indication it just needs an adjustment.

A little dab of throttle while looking for neutral helps.

if your clutch does not slip, it is not worn out.
try changing the viscosity of your trans fluid. The B&M trick shift is much lower viscosity than the Harley 30 weight primary oil.
I had this same problem with my '06 mastiff, and it was worse when pointing uphill. Then after I burnt up my clutch, I put in one of the newer 9 plate clutches in place of the stock 12 plate that came in mine. I still use the same Harley primary oil, and can now find neutral much easier, still have a problem every now and then.
