2018 Softail Clutch ADJUSTMENT

2018 Harley Davidson Softail Clutch adjustment. It's very similar to all big twins produced by HD since the 90's, but the cable is a little different. Just a tip on how to keep your bike running sharp, and making it a little easier to find neutral.

My 2018 Low Rider is having problems with not shifting into second and getting stuck in a false neutral, mostly during left hand turns. Dealer adjusted the clutch and it was better for a short while. Will be using this vid as a reference for doing the adjustment myself for now.

[@benjaminheuerman6312]

I feel like it would be worth putting an annotation during the basket adjustment that half to full turn out is NOT spec for a sportster adjustment. Don't want unknowing sporty people getting mad at ya when their clutch doesn't work right. Sick video, dude. You rule.

[@1americanfrmsocal529]

Unbelievable. I watched a KZbin video few weeks ago how to adjust clutch. This mechanic show all of us KZbinrs how to turn the adjusting screw in three quarters of a turn instead of out. Glad I watched your video buddy. Can't believe someone's teaching how to adjust in the wrong direction.

[@TheHarleyTech]

Welcome to the Internet!

[@bikecommuter24]

Just found your Channel , love your style and the way you present your content. I've been on Harleys since the early 90's, currently on a 2012 iron 883 (which I owned since new) Cheers from a fellowed long haired, bearded, coffee loving Harley Rider. 👍

[@mikeyrs4512]

just a little more than a year to the date watching this videotoday help me out big-time working on my HD thanks dude much appreciated from the northern Bay area Cali!!

[@jeromykriege9649]

This channel is blowing up!

[@jeromykriege9649]

I got some luv from John! Right back at ya bro! If you ever make it to Vegas I’d love to show you around.

[@Hippy75]

my FXBB clutch lever feels like it has a little too much play.... then this clutch adjustment video suddenly appears, Thanks John :D

[@TheHarleyTech]

perfect timing!

[@jimanness4586]

I miss your regular videos

[@jeremyburdine6511]

Just inherited my Dads 06 ultra classic. Found in difficult to find neutral, but can actually shift it without using the clutch while the trasn/motor is cold. Hoping adjusting the clutch and cable will help. The video is awesome btw!

[@PurfsMcGurfs]

I just got my 2018 FXFBS back from a warranty on the clutch cable. Went in for a 1k and was told the cable was junk. Now it shifts smoother then ever and doesnt clunk forward when shifting from neutral. I always had a hard time getting neutral and I thought it was some sick joke harley was playing. It was frustrating when it would pop into 2nd 5 times before I would finally get it. Now its easy to get neutral with a working cable. BTW, I love your videos bud, keep up the good work.

[@eastcoast.30cal28]

Whoa... I've noticed a rattle of my clutch lever at 30ish in 3rd gear on my 2018 FXBRS and finding natural is a pain but I've never owned/ridden a Harley (until now) so I just thought that is was normal. I've noticed If I shift from neutral to 1st I have to hold the clutch until the transmission whining sound stops or it kinda surges forward just a little bit and goes "CLUNK"... same for you??

[@PurfsMcGurfs]

EastCoast.30Cal mine didnt whine with the clutch in but, it did clunk into first and jump forward a little bit. The lever rattle is probably just factory slop mixed with vibes at that rpm. Mine does that but, it doesn't bother me.

[@robertlumsden942]

perfect video. I got that exact bike - so cool. I too had problem with the neutral. after the 1000 mile checkup with Harley it was gone and I find neutral easy now. super bike for sure. as always great detail. thanks for what you do.

[@gcyang83]

Life saver, was woundering how to get that going for my levers kits I was going to install on my FXDR 114. Good look. Following you now. Thanks again good stuff.

[@joecraft4409]

Find myself trying to wipe the bug off the wind defector lol. Great vid, I'm likin the clarity

[@amacro11]

I have the same bike, bought it with 3+K miles and had it die on me while riding on Interstate 75 in Florida, got it restarted after about 45 minutes and then brought it to Gator Harley well they could not find the reason but surmised that it had to do with a switch attached to the clutch lever, (so the bike does'nt jump when it's started? so they told me - they adjusted the clutch and told me to take the leather wrap off my levers (I did not do this cause I was dubious about that), anyway now the couch does not engage until the lever almost all the way out and I was told that's the way the 2018's are. So far after an addition 500 miles it hasn't happened again but dam I'm just not used to the engagement point of the clutch at all. Al PS Appreciate the channel!

[@hfalcon25]

amacro11 Same here on my 114 BF, clutch engagement point is far out. Guess it is the norm on these 18’ softies , bunch of riders on the H-D forum state they are experiencing the same.

[@josephzieroff2631]

Thanks John this is what I needed to adjust my clutch. I will have the service manual in hand also. P.S. you have the best here on you tube.

[@waynecasey6375]

nice vid John, as usual...another dirty thumbs up...I love the maintenance videos

[@davebiltucci564]

I like a small set of vice grips in my tool pouch. Love the videos keep up the good work John!

[@millerslaw]

Yep my 2018 Softail definitely is a pain in the arena to get in neutral. Gonna adjust the clutch and see if it fixes it.

[@scottishian150]

Come on John. I've watched them all now. Get uploading.

[@jaimearancibia5811]

Hi John, love your vids man always looking forward to them. Even though i don't own a Harley (yet) the tips you give out have been very useful. Much respect from Chile.

[@StephenKim-j4h]

Wow I think this video is awesome and you are a so good theacher for HD.

[@dustinanderson7285]

Thanks for the informative videos and great editing and cinematography too.

[@HARMARSCH2]

John, thank you for the video on how to adjust a clutch

[@luissalazar2021]

Wow that sample, I did not know that it was that easy, most mechanics are charging $90+ 🤔

[@jimwilson2287]

Great video, I do my own service work. I purchased a 2017 ultra classic with a 114. I would like to see a video on servicing the radiators. I sprang for the service manual, but a video would be great.

[@jlc904ubc]

Thanks John. Great info! Have a good week!

[@davejeffries5001]

Hi John really like your videos. Very helpful and funny. Thanks!

[@ResponsibleGunOwner]

I wish all Harley techs were thorough. I've taken mine in for service or installations, only to find they neglected to tight bolts.

[@elton71737678]

Hey John, thanks for the reply. I would love to use a service manual. Unfortunately there isn’t one available for my 2018 FLSB Sport Glide. In fact there even isn’t an owners manual available. Dealer said there wouldn’t be anything available till the 2019 bikes and literature comes out. Thanks again for the reply, and keep up the good work.

[@chrislong2401]

daniel jaram m.ebay.com/itm/2018-Harley-Davidson-Softail-USB-Service-Manual-Electrical-Diagnostic-Manual-/332670973212 This is what I purchase for my slim. It's for all softtails.

[@badhombre5591]

John could you do a video on engine/swingarm alignment on pre 09 baggers?? I'm having a hell of a time with this.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Good video - i just blew out and damaged my clutch because i rode the friction zone too much partly because i live and ride in the city all the time :( I didn't get warranty on the clutch damage lol oh well i will have to stop using the friction zone from now on and that's going to be a bad habit to lose.

[@szymonkucharski7224]

Hi John, need to pick your brain about a problem I have with my 08 Street Glide which I recently bought. After making the clutch basket and cable adjustment my clutch pulls horribly. When pressing the lever the spring on the basket bearly moves and the lever is stiff... The funny thing was after taking off the primary inspection cover you normally don't get much oil spill when the bike is upright but my primary was filled with something like 2 quarts of oil and it spilled all over... Not sure why someone did this. Checked the transmission cover clutch actuator and it's okay, clutch basket nut, and it's solid... Also to make it work at all, had to turn the adjuster bolt in after reaching the resistance instead of going half-turnout. Not sure where to go next... The only idea I have left is that my Street Glide has Apehangers and a quite long clutch cable... would that be the cause of my headache??? Not sure where to go next... Regards Simon

[@BushPigADV]

IF I'm not getting enough movement at the basket (clutch is grabbing right off the grip hard to move in gear with clutch in, hard to find neutral) what should I do? Turn the allen bolt out less? 1/2 turn instead of 3/4?. My sport glide has aftermarket cables but I assume the procedure is the same... remove cable tension, adjust basket, adjust cable play to 1/8 inch

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

i also use 3/4 turn as well because i use friction zone a lot but i learnt today that friction zone is bad for the clutch :(

[@paulsullivan931]

Hey John,thank you another cool vlog always entertaining 👍😃

[@Choward1234]

Will this work on my 21 Low Rider S? I have that type of clutch cable you are showing here.

[@KaitlinMMorales]

Hello! Thanks for your video!! I just bought my brand new 2024 Road glide. Is it okay to adjust my clutch considering that I am in the break in period?

[@Johnr37us]

I have a new Electra limited and it has a hydraulic clutch and it I have a hard time finding neutral also . But figured that ( as you said) it’s just learning the feel of the transmission and I should start finding neutral easier.

[@dejonsmall9886]

Switch to Red Line Shockproof for your Trans, or any Gear Lube. 20/50 is a motor oil not gear lube. JMHO.

[@Johnr37us]

Freddie Ray I was thinking about going with the Amsoil transmission oil and the primary oil that they have. I’ve been using that brand in the past. I have 900 miles on the bike so I will be changing it pretty soon.

[@dejonsmall9886]

That's cool, I only tried RL after reading a lot of raves about on Harley Tech Talk, but I will be switching to Spectro products. I've used Amsoil 20/50 in all three holes before with no problems. When I put in the RL Primary Oil it sounder great the first day, but when I fired up on the second day I thought my compensator took a dump. So I drained it and my garage stunt to high heaven. HTT subscribers thought I had a bat stator. Even the bottle stunk. I put Amsoil 20/50 in and everything sounded like before.

[@BrandonM7777]

Your videos make me want to go to MMI and join your team.

[@avega2792]

Is this procedure adjusting the clutch basket unique to this bike/Harley? I have a vintage Hodaka that needs clutch work but that’s not something I’m familiar with. It creeps when you pop it in first and getting it into neutral while it’s running is impossible.

[@WILLYSCHNUCK]

are the new electronic clutches adjustable? rode one today that was a little grabby

[@adminadmin9997]

Does the FXBB have a hydraulic clutch?

[@markwhitney9175]

Great video!

[@rickfrazier9644]

...so what brand did the mufflers turn out to be??

[@anthonyscott16]

Enjoying your channel Bro. Great content.

[@joelcarlin9193]

Hey John I've got a 2002 softail standard Springer my father gave me as an early inheritance It's time to change plugs and it's at 9.5k miles I was thinking about putting ngks in it rather than the original stock ones No clue in how to cross reference or if it's a good idea Once person says use what it came with one says upgrade to iridium Any thoughts I'd appreciate em: -D

[@srhintz]

If you be havin a hard time finding neutral, adjust your shift lever. Wear your riding boots when you do it.

[@Angelo-ej7vs]

Great video, I have a question. To reduce play you have to go near to one half or to one complete turn?

[@richardlindsey7112]

Great video. I know its a reach back. But to bad.

[@talkingrock7011]

I am surprised a hydraulic clutch wasn't on the soft tail models , and that bike didn't have fluid transfer did it ?

[@lac46011]

In ur professional opinion, what would be a good bike for me? I’m 5’0” and have a hard time reaching the ground with both legs on a lot of bikes. I don’t want to have to lower the bike too much and mess with the suspension. Keep in mind this will be my first personal bike. I’ve always been the passenger but I’m tired of waiting for my man to take me for a ride!

[@KalFx3]

Thanks man. Needed more than the cable adjust would allow after Elite Mototech clutch lever install. Also found part of my red clip was broken. You guys keep those on hand at the stealership?

[@jerrypeevey]

So if my cable is surely needing adjustment does that mean the Clutch also needs adjusting?

[@mtdman1146]

Do you have to drain the oil in order to pull the clutch cover off and do this adjustment?

[@TheHarleyTech]

No, but if the bike isn’t upright, you’ll lose some of the oil.

[@hwa4844]

john thanks for your clutch adjusting video but i as well would like to know what pipes were used on the 114 you should i have the 114 and am waiting and looking to replace my mufflers with new ones to get rid off catalytic converters but not having to remap my computer or buy a tuner to do so thanks

[@gofaster474]

"10ft lbs" with a regular ratchet. I was halfway expecting you to verbally say "Click!" lol

[@TheHarleyTech]

I should have. Damn...

[@bikecommuter24]

Thanks for the laugh I needed one.

[@lizzard8785]

05:53 what's the brand of the muffler?

[@HaXaW5150]

Even though your a celebrity now and people give you free coffee and vape juice and women will start throwing their bras at you when you go to rallies. I'm glad you are still doing these videos before some corporation grabs you up and you become a spokesperson. At least I can say I knew when. ;) Just kidding John, thanks for the videos. Keep them coming.

[@FarmerTheOG]

Great vids bro keep it up. Sidenote does harley make a narrow profile primary cover for the M8 softails?

[@markmasson123]

I always like your videos! If you find out the brand of those slip-ons, I'd love to know. My 114 Breakout runs so well, I almost hate to mess with it but if I can make it a bit louder and not get any decel pop or performance set backs, I'd do it. Thanks!

[@elton71737678]

I normally enjoy your videos. Just watched your clutch adjustment video. I’m at a complete loss as to the procedure, as you jumped around so much. In particular the “new” new adjustment clip. Loosen it first?

[@nateccnn]

I picked up the service manual for 20 bucks. The procedure for clutch cable adjustment is in it.

[@WhiskyJackR]

Agree, it jumped around too much to follow. I think this harks to John's point about not doing how to video's. Delboys Garage gives a good explanation on an early softail if you want a clear step by step.

[@TheHarleyTech]

It’s just supposed to be an entertaining way to show how it’s done. A service manual is absolutely a must if you’re going to do your own work. My videos or anyone else’s shouldn’t be a substitute for the service manual. Just a visual aid in what you’ve read. Essentially, you loosen the cable and the clutch basket. Lube cable. Adjust the basket then the cable.

[@simonhouel1984]

Hi guys ! Do I have to do that readjustment if I just unlocked the clutch adjuster to remove the handlebar ? thx buddies ! Be safe !

[@michaellomazzo7776]

Nice John good to know stuff thanks

[@danielmorales8803]

Do I need to adjust if I just need to tighten?

[@TheHarleyTech]

You talking about the lever being loose? Yes, do the full adjustment. Biggest mistake I see from a DIYer is adjusting the cable and not the basket until they ruin their clutch plates.

[@ResponsibleGunOwner]

I've got 4 Harleys: '01 Ultra, '13 Electra Glide Classic, '02 Softail Standard and an '06 Sportster 883 Low (wife's bike). I notice on the Softail that I get a significant "clunk" when I put it in gear. What causes that and how do I fix it (assuming it needs to be fixed)?

[@bobtranquilli9985]

Thanks, JM

[@julespeace684]

Hi, please do a video about moving the rear brake lever closer to the center or a work around, pretty please. 🙏🏼 Yes, I’m petite. Dang coffee did it...j/k😂 Peace John.

[@JV-tk6uo]

On my 2017 fatboy s. I had hard time finding N. The first couple times I rode it. It was embarrassing. I had to use my hand. Like reaching down and putting it in N hahah. But its practice tho

[@michaelortega9228]

same adjustnent for the 19 limited?

[@tjbfoot]

Do you have to drain the primary to adjust the clutch basket

[@TheHarleyTech]

No, but the bike has to be level or you’ll lose fluid.

[@tjbfoot]

Awesome thanks for the response

[@sf3653]

Hey John I got the 1275N clutch springs and was wondering if you know the torque specs on those?

[@murphfee617]

Hey John Whats your take o dry clutches, say for Dyna's. Im kicking around the idea about investing in one want your opion good,bad or indifferent. Thanks Man. Big O'l Dirty Thumbs up

[@cormschr]

Could an improperly adjusted clutch cause a new Softail to repeatedly fall out of second back into neutral? Just picked up a brand new lowrider as the dealer was closing and had this happen a lot on the way home. Only on a first to second shit though.

[@citizendick6087]

My FXFBS does it ocasionally too......

[@cormschr]

@@citizendick6087 the dealer wanted the bike back ASAP so at least they're willing to look at it. I just hope it's a quick fix.

[@boblenig3150]

Heyall, my problem 1999 heritage softail, clutch problem, if i adjust to factory specs, it really grinds to go into gear, but doesn't really creep in first, but it is really over klonding!>> is there a clutch warpage or wear do this? thanks alot!

[@lionman6110]

Can you confirm that the CAT on the 18 Fat Bob FXFBS is located in the muffler and not the pipe?

[@TheHarleyTech]

It is in the pipe in a fxfbs. I wonder where I read they were in the muffler. Or if it’s just the fat bob that is that way...

[@lionman6110]

Thanks for confirming, guess I will have to spend the money then for new pipes or pull and weld the factory pipes removing the CAT.

[@SuperDave21]

Hey John, Has HD given a date for release of their 2019 models yet? Getting anxious!

[@TheLostsoulcamero]

How do you adjust lever position

Any word what the muffler on that bike was?

[@jasonkitson3866]

John, you should do a video on fuel management systems. I have a Fuelpak 3 on my 2016 Street Glide, but I hear people bash it all the time. What are your thoughts on the best all around tuner?

[@TheHarleyTech]

It’s coming with my pipe install video!

[@thebeardedyorkshireman8368]

Hi John really struggling to get neutral on my Road King Special 2018, any ideas?

[@robvalencia21]

Thanks for the clarification Man! I watched that first 1000 mile service video so many times before deciding (talking myself into the fact) you went 3/4 turn. There was some edit magic going on in that part😂. Finally got my service manual somewhere in between your two videos to ease my mind. My 2018 lowrider thanks you! Hopefully there is a 10,000 mile service video coming soon. I can't stop riding this thing! You rule! Keep em coming! @rob___v

[@motonerd14]

Great video, John! I have a 2018 Street Bob and have just developed an issue where it occasionally goes into neutral instead of second gear. I've also had a couple times where it would go into a false neutral from 4th-5th. Could this be the clutch cable needing adjustment? I had the 1k service done at the dealer and otherwise the bike has been great, but this 1st-Neutral-then 2nd business has almost gotten me run over a couple times now. I have tools and can try to do this myself but was thinking I should take it in since it's still under warranty. What do you think I should do?

[@lugodiaz6511]

Hey John how do I adjust hydraulic clutch on mu RG 09?

[@matthewcarrico210]

Looking to change the handlebars on my 2018 Softail slim. Can I swap out the clutch line at that adjuster in front of the bike? Or do I have to go all the way back to the transmission?

[@TheHarleyTech]

H-D makes an “upper clutch cable” changed at the adjuster. Starting the video tomorrow. Hopefully in 2 weeks I’ll have it out!

[@matthewcarrico210]

I appreciate your response! That’ll help me a ton with my build! Harley here said they aren’t sure of the measurements and would have to wait until I have the bars put on to get one. Im just hoping it won’t take to long after I put them on to get the right cable.

[@edreviews]

Great video bro!

[@kev1163]

another great Video John dirty thumbs up, did you figure out what that exhaust was?

[@TheHarleyTech]

Eliminator 300. I think Vance and Hines makes them.

[@zacharykodatt3174]

What liquid is in your applicator to lubricate the clutch cable? I'm not a fan of the aerosol can + applicator tool method. Are there pros and cons to each method of lubricating the cable? Also, I just purchased my first Harley 2 days ago (2010 Road King). When and why do you actually have to adjust the clutch assembly? I'm not sure how the adjustment relates to finding neutral, either. I've only ever known to adjust the clutch cable tension and if your clutch is slipping, to replace the pack. I love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@alecboswell5527]

If the clutch is out of adjustment, it typically acts like it is too tight. For example, when you squeeze the clutch lever in it doesn't disengage the clutch all the way which in turn puts pressure on the drive train making it so when you lift the shifter up to find neutral, it requires more pressure than usual and you will overshoot the neutral detent into the next gear. Thats why it needs to be in proper adjustment. So the clutch fully engages and disengages. Hope this helps. Safe riding man!

[@bikerboot9096]

John is the softail the only 2018 with the catalytic converter in the muffler itself? I know it was a heat issue on my 2014 SGS until I got rid of the head pipe. This would make life easier on the baggers also.

[@TheHarleyTech]

The only other one I know of is the screaming eagle nightstick exhaust. At least the twin cam version had the cat in the mufflers. Those things weigh like 20 pounds a piece!

[@JohnDoe-yj9tj]

Hey what pipes are those?

[@bigj200016]

What did u use to lube clutch cable?

[@winterbreed]

i REALLY appreciate this video. I'm just curious on your opinion about how the clutch should leave a shop? i just had my fxbb on the 5000mile service. the clutch now has about AN INCH of play. it had like a quarter inch of play before. for sure i'll use your video and fix it myself. but a service here ( im in sweden ) is about 400 bucks. im so sick of my dealership that im about to abandon harley davidson completely as they are the only one dealership around, next shop is about 3 hours away..

[@TheHarleyTech]

This is always the worst comment to see. Have a talk with the service manager, I'm confident he'll make it right. You shouldn't have to fix it yourself! You just paid $400 to have it done correctly, after all. The most important thing I learned in school was that little old me ( a face no one ever sees) is the representative of the entire dealership. the dealership is a representative of the entire motor company. don't let one tech that didn't adjust your clutch correctly make you change your mind about an entire company that doesn't even know who he (the tech) is. I hear it a lot "this dealership this, this dealership that". the issue is generally about one single person, whether the commentor realizes it or not. generally it's not about an entire dealership (or the motor company). just the one guy...

[@arielgarcia8497]

Hey John can you adjust the friction zone on the new softails . I like mine to engage toward the middle and on my new 18 heritage it engages almost at the top is there a way to change it.

[@REDMAN298]

Try experimenting with the adj. at the clutch basket 3:18.

[@tylerfj24]

John, got a new idea for a video. so I was looking at changing calipers on my 18 SGS and i asked one of the techs today about brake lines, fluid, bleed the lines, etc. on install, and how things change with the ABS system.. He told me that not only do I need to watch when I install, I do need to bleed the lines of air and THEN ALSO you guys have to do a computer run of the abs system that also ensures there is no air in the lines as well? I had no idea that was the case or the ABS system could do that.. I dont kow how many people out there are bleeding their lines without the abs systems part being done. IF (and thats a big if) because i dont know if this guy was just not knowing what he was talking about, but if its so, this would be a good topic and video to cover. its def. a safety issue as well. thanks again! Tyler

[@TheHarleyTech]

Good point. I think I’ve talked about ABS systems a few times in past videos, although. They are older, and the channel has a bit of a bigger reach now.

[@tylerfj24]

John Maxwell oh really.. you may have then. I went back and looked after i spoke with him and didnt see it as a title. But it was the computer part of the bleeding the stuck out to me.. i understand hd concept and how the abs system works with certain wheel sizes vs rpm/speed. Just thought if you do any brake bleeding or brake work on a newer bike with the abs may be a good spot for a video.

[@scottbledsoe3220]

TylerFJ24 you don’t have to do the computer to bleed the brakes, unless you changed an ABS module or you are flushing the system. The brake fluid normally bypasses the ABS system unless you have an ABS event. If while flushing you don’t use the computer to actuate the module you will be left with old fluid in the module and possible corrosion from excessive water in the fluid.

[@tylerfj24]

Scott Bledsoe or john maxwell is there a device that i can buy to check my own h20 % in the brake fluid?

[@scottbledsoe3220]

I believe this is what you are wanting www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VX0M5EA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@nicholasmiddleton398]

Brand name of the exhaust?

[@crashinitup100]

Do you have a video for clutch adjustment for 2014 softail slim

[@TheHarleyTech]

No, but it’s the same thing except you have to screw in the adjuster to relieve pressure on the lever. Do the bottom adjustment, and then loosen the adjuster on the cable until the lever had a nickels width of play.

[@crashinitup100]

John Maxwell thank you for taking time to answer me

[@eastcoast.30cal28]

Hi John! I'm just about to hit my break-in 1000 mile service on my 2018 Breakout 114... recently I've noticed a decent rattle of the clutch lever in 3rd gear at 30-35 MPH. If I push the lever outward with my finger the rattle stops. Is that something I should tell the Harley Service Tech that looks at my bike?

[@TheHarleyTech]

You can mention it, but I would bet the clutch adjustment will rectify it. It’s probably too much play in the cable.

[@eastcoast.30cal28]

Cool, thank you for the reply, John!

[@bTome9123]

Hey John, I have an 08 Night Train and my break lever falls back (towards the hand grip) just enough to engage my break light. Any suggestion as to what causes that? Also, is it something a mechanic should fix? Thank you

[@antoniogranillo1458]

Odds are that you need to have the calipers serviced/cleaned. That will probably fix a lot of that issue. A brake fluid flush is always a good idea too. Worst case scenario, the M/C will need to be rebuilt replaced. But, again, probably cleaning the calipers will do the job.

[@murtaman114]
