Cluctch needs Adjusting on 99 Pro Sport

[WildBillNick]

I have a 99 Pro Sport, 107 S&S. I need to adjust the clutch on my ride but I dont have any manuals or literature at all on my BDM. Most of the time it is hard to get into neutral unless I am rolling a bit. I have changed the tranny oil about 200 miles ago and seems to give no probs. However, when I cranked it up a few days ago and pulled in the clutch, and as soon as I put it in gear it went right into gear and learched before I let out on the clutch. I let it sit for a few minutes while it was warming up. I put it back in gear again and I could tell that it was still attempting to move while I had the clutch in. After I let it warm up some more and rode it about 40 miles with constantly using the clutch during stop and go, the clutch seemed to loosen up but still can't hit neutral sitting still. Today, I want to tackle that problem and see if I can make an adjustment.. Any words of wisdom on how to adjust the clutch would be great if anyone would care to chime in. I only started riding again in January after about 18 yrs.
Tks!

It might be two different things. It is not unusual to have a hard time hitting neutral. Rock it back and forth and it will shift easier into neutral. That will still be the case after the clutch is adjusted. 1999 and 2000 Baker five speeds had the square racing teeth and its just the offset for a super precise race shift.

The clutch cable has a standard adjustment under the rubber sleeve running down the front frame tube.

I had the same problem with my 01 Mastiff... The clutch was adjusted fine, it turned out it had the wrong primary lube, which made the Primo clutch plates drag. I'm not sure what what kind of clutch the 99 Pro Sport has?

Mine has the Rivera Primo.. I did change the lube to ATF Fluid Type F. It made a big difference and much better.
