    Hi Guys, im having a few dramas with the clutch on my 1985 fxwg. It feels like the clutch cable is stretching all the time and i have to adjust the clutch all the time. This problem started a while ago and is getting worse all the time. Today i adjusted it  and only got around 3-4 mintues of riding in back steets near home and it has happened again . I have replaced the bearing on push rod (the clutch fork side) and also the outer ring which holds your clutch in place and it still happens. Has anyone had this drama and how did they fix this. It is driving me mad as everytime i get on my bike it has to be pushed or trailered home. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers Glenn.

    HI Guys, i pulled it apart as i was told it would more than likely be the push rod collapsing. I went and bought a new centre push rod and found that it is around 3mm longer than the one that was in there, due to wear and squashing from softness. So far it seems to be alright but have only been able to travel around 5km's due to time. Im going to head out this arvo and fingers crossed it dosent come home on a trailer again. Thanks for your input guys and i will keep you posted on how i go.

    Cheers Glenn
