    I’m having the same issue with the 1 finger lever
    Tried different adjustments with both the clutch and clutch cable. Started with the recommended 1/2 turn back on the clutch, also tried 1/4 turn back
    With the clutch cable started with 1/8” free play also tried 1/16”and even zero free play still couldn’t get full clutch disengagement. Measured clutch disengagement as recommended by Baker transmissions and definitely not enough disengagement
    Bike was shifting smooth as butter and no issues prior to installing the 1 finger clutch lever. Definitely a design flaw
    Mounted lever on Dyna.
    Dealing with this as I’m writing this so haven’t contacted them yet but you are not alone.

    I added PSR adjustable shorty levers to my Sportster and will be doing same with my 20 Softtail. Had an issue with the PSR brake perch nit fitting correctly on the brake light switching and brake light stayed on. PSR went above and beyond to get me a replacement and no issues. They’re two finger levers and fully adjustable which is-great!

I emailed them and am sure they will take care of me but now seeing this I expect there will be no resolution besides getting my money refunded. Too bad really as the levers are very nice looking, feel good, and have solid build quality.

      I have only ever heard of that issue on the softails oddly enough. I run the 1FNGR on my Sportster and they are incredible, and everyone else that I have heard run them loves them. Then there is the very odd story about a softail not fully engaging/disengaging. I know they recently updated a lot of their stuff, so I wonder if this issue was figured out?

    I have the vf one finger lever. And I’m having a problem with it adjusting out with my bike they sent me this little spacer that goes in the perch in with it in and the auto cable pulled together I have hardly any Free Play which at that point I should have all free play with the spring pulled up and with that spacer in the perch when I pull the tab on the auto adjust it doesn’t go back down and I can’t even pull it down to latch it. like I can feel it against the clutch ,with that spacer out it had way too much free play and barely grabbed the clutch. But the auto spring would work with the spacer out, but free play was way off. Ironically with the spacer in and the cable is pulled together right now which should have total free play. like that it feels like a perfectly working clutch but I know that spring needs to be down…..

    • @RonsWorkshop
      @RonsWorkshop  2 года назад

      Hey TMF - yeah that’s an odd situation. But, if the spring is fully compressed with that spacer installed, and the clutch works properly, that may be just fine. Normally with the plastic clip snapped in there’s no movement in that mechanism, effectively locking it off. But it sounds like you may not be able to get the red clip in with that spacer installed?
