I have put this on before; but it might be of some help.

Result at last. Fitted a clutch lever from a rice rocket, heavy duty cable routed straight out the lever housing, underneath the handlebar brace (lightly ty-wrapped to the brace), over the petrol tank and a slack ty-wrap to the frame. Looks unsightly, but works much lighter and smoother than before.

Hi Dyl-boy, I had the same problem on my 2006 Electra X and the reluctance to go into neutral became worse the hotter the machine got. If your fault is the same as mine (and I'll bet 10 pence that it is!) there is a £19.50 solution available from our hosts. Go to the relevant parts book on this site and head for Page 24, End Cover Assembly 5 Speed. The release mechanism, item 29 in it's own little box, features what I believe is called a 'ramp and balls' assembly. The illustration shows an un-numbered lever between item 3-sleeve and item 5-load of balls, you will probably find that lever is fractured but if I remember correctly it is not available separately, the assembly has to be supplied complete. Simple to replace and our host probably has them in stock. Let us know how you get on. Adam

I know this might sound stupid but try moving your handlebar a little, up or down, when it is loose, give the clutch a pull and tighten the handlebar when you think it feels light.
