Motorcycle Repair: clutch problems?, clutch plate, clutch problems


Question
I have a 1978 Harley Davidson FXWG and when I put it in gear with the clutch in, it wants to move forward. When I take off, I hear what sounds like the clutch plate rubbing. I can also hear it as I am driving down the road with hands off clutch. It seems to get better when it gets warm. It has 1500 miles on new clutch. It has also been sitting for two years. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Answer
What you need to do if adjust your clutch again. You have it to loose and thats why its pulling. If that doenst solve the problem you will have to pull the clutch. Sitting like that for long periods of time will make the plates sticky.
Good luck and happy riding
