2015 Triglide Slip Clutch

[OldmanLI]

Looking at the specs on the 2015 Triglide the talk about the slip clutch as being better in stop and go traffic and that it has an easier clutch pull.

Anyone have one and how does it work or is it better?

I have the 2015 with the "Slip Assist Clutch" just got back from a 1000 mile trip and I'm very happy with the it. What I have noticed is that the down shifts are a lot smoother. Have been told that the reason the the design change is to reduce the impact on the compensator. I have not found any down side to the new design.

So there are some differences between the 14 and 15 Tri...

I have the 2014 Tri-Glide and I have the "Slip Assist Clutch". I'm not sure I like it. It slip a lot more when I pull away from a stop. When I did the 1000 mile service the primary oil did not smell burnt though. It maybe something I need to get use to. I am not use to the added weight of the Tri-Glide and BOB back. LOL

It is on all 2014 & 2015 TriGlides as standard equipment.

I traded my 2012 TriGlide in on a 2015 TriGlide with the new clutch. I can't say I noticed one bit of difference in ease of pulling the clutch. it DOES seem to me like the new lever is just like the BOSS levers that Kuryakyn sells however and I put on my wifes Sportster. Seems wider than old?

Re: 2015 Harley Davidson RECALL

Just announced today on internet Harley Davidson announced a major recall on 2015 models. more info coming

 

[Ray55]

Seen in the local newspaper today that 105,000 bikes being recalled by Harley for clutch issues. Don't know what years involved.

 

[trikermutha]

2014 models were affected (baggers) and fuel tank leaks but not on the touring models are on the recall

Being a longtime GW trike rider, I liked the idea of the adjustable levers.

I dont find the clutch lever on my 15' TG to be all that easy. If I could find a better lever that would be easier, I would certainly consider changing it.

Lady Triker, This spring I put Kuryakyns new BOSS BLADE with adjustment on my wifes Sportster. It is adjustable to move closer to the grip. Very nice for smaller hands. Not sure if available for 2015 trikes though. Her old Sportster had the original BOSS BLADES on and this is nicer.

Is the new clutch like the recluse automatic clutch now made for Harley Davidson. It is a centrifugal type clutch.

No it is not an automatic clutch or centrifugal.
