Book This Service(902) 755-6532A Harley-Davidson clutch rebuild restores full, clean power transfer when the clutch is slipping, dragging, or chattering. The multi-plate wet clutch in Big Twin and Sportster models is robust when maintained with proper primary oil, but friction plates do wear over time and springs weaken with age and heat cycles.
