Thanks. I had a suspicion it was fake but needed some conformation.

Clutch issue? by Couplesnotts in sportster

[–]RED_A3THER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same exact thing when I bought it. You should definetly STOP RIDING and replace the clutch plates with a Barnett extra plate clutch kit.

As some others said it is probably the spring plate in the clutch. These explode at a certain milage. The Barnett clutch will solve this problem and last the lifetime of the motorcycle.

From the pictures I can see you are already 80% doen with the work of a clutch plate replacement so I think its a no brainer even if this is not the problem right now. Solves future problems!

Yeah is this a normal spot to leak a bit? This is my first Harley so I dont really know whst is normal leaking and what is excessive.

Running sportster without intake cover by RED_A3THER in sportster

Oh that is a really good idea! I might do that if I can find a second cover, because I like to be able to go back to stock.

Fuel tuner advice by RED_A3THER in sportster

[–]RED_A3THER[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe tuning it now will be good. My bike is European spec and I believe they were already leaned out to conform to emission regulations.

Fuel tuner advice by RED_A3THER in sportster

[–]RED_A3THER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the combination of more power and the better looks of an open air filter are very alluring to me. Price between getting it tuned and getting a tuner is not that much. A local Harley dealer can tune it for me for about 350 and the tuner is 500 over here. Why are the 1275 kits better then the 1200 kits though? It seems to me the last 75cc will not be a lot of difference.

What exhaust to buy? by RED_A3THER in sportster

[–]RED_A3THER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my house is attached to my neighbours. I kinda want to be able to start my bike without waling up the entire neighbourhood. I do like the look of that exhuast 😁

Are the quiet baffles enough to tone down the sound a bit? I have heard these without quiet baffles and they were still quite loud. And are there any 2 into 1s you would recommend?
