Why didn't Honda use a hydraulic clutch? Direct cable is going to hurt a lot of left hands!

 

[af_Airforce123]

the direct cable is better than my street bike its really smooth dude i rode it hundred fifty miles first day i havent rode in year and half and my hand didnt hurt one bit.

clutch feel

I put 100 miles on mine first day, and it felt better then my old vtx1300c.
Smooth as butta...

Has anyone had an issue with shifting into 2nd seems when i do it gets stuck in neutral. i''ve been reading and it seems like everyone is saying the bike shifts smooth but mine isn't nearly as smooth as my 1300r was.

No problems here. I may have to loosen the grip some as mine is really tight. Barely have to pull for it to shift. If that is the correct terms.

 

[PREDATOR]

HA! If you're complaining about this clutch, my Ducati's clutch was about 10 times stiffer. Personally, I would be able to grip the Fury's clutch all day long with no problems.

 

[matt_adams66]

i'm not complaining about the clutch being stiff to pull but i'm having issues with shifting into 2nd. It seems to be getting caught in neutral and having to double clutch to get it to shift. just not shifting as smooth as i hear people talk about or as smooth as my VTX 1300r did either.

What you describe can sometimes be caused by the clutch not disengaging fully. My Fury's got just about the smoothest shifting I've ever felt. Is your clutch adjusted OK ?

i haven't adjusted anything it has 250 miles on it and i'm going to call the dealer tomorrow maybe see what they say.

It might have not been adjusted it properly when it was set up. If so, the dealer should be able to fix that for you in 5 minutes or less.

Now i'm not a certified honda mechanic, but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night...


sounds to me like a simple clutch cable adjustment too.

my clutch works smooth as silk as well. the owners manual shows how to adjust that, or take it to the dealer if your not comfortable doing it yourself

miss shift

i have 800 miles on mine and i havent miss a single shift.this thing is smoother than my spirit.

 

[matt_adams66]

i tried adjusting the clutch to me the inexperienced it seems like its adjusted per the manual but its still getting stuck in neutral and seems to be getting worse. Time to take it back to the dealer i guess.

I have had the same issue. It only happens every once in a while. I tightened up the clutch cable and haven't had any more issues. Just make sure you don't over tighten it.

I just installed a "Clutch Pull Relief" from VTX Home. Inexpensive and quick shipping. I measured clutch pull with a fish scale and got about 18 pounds on the stock setup and 10 pounds after. The reason I went for this is for trips like riding through Sturgis during the rally (over an hour and maybe 100 clutch pulls) or riding in parades where it is all start/stop. Did it myself (not a wrencher) and it took me over an hour to grind the damned rivet out. Didn't want to screw up the piece. The rivet puller you can rent from Glen is probably a better program. Nice easy pull now.

Will that work with the Kury engine cover?

I think it has to go on before the engine covers. Not sure how easy they come off after once installed. Unless your asking if they will fit under the Kury engine cover?

I had the issue, and still do at times, If i shift kinda slow it hangs up there and between 4th and 5th. If i notice it a bit i adjust the cable tighter and all is back to being good

Yes it will, Glen sent me on it May to check the fit, after ridding with it I ordered one for my VTX.
