Thank you for this opportunity.

Does the clutch use multiple coil springs rather than the Sporster style spring on the XBs?

Thanks for the bump Blake.

I'm curious for two reasons:

1) multiple spring clutches do not need special tools to disassemble. It makes it easy to replace the clutch pack and springs for different action.

2) If it is engaged with a shaft/ball/rod assembly rather than the ball/ramps it should have easier pull

One reason I could see for keeping the diaphragm spring is the reduced part count and complexity of the clutch.

Of course at the track, or in the garage the coil spring clutches are easier to service.

What type of clutch spring system does the V-Rod use?

Whatever the type of spring, we can see from the reservoir on the left side handlebar that it is a hydraulically actuated system.

VROD is coil spring.

It's also a beautiful thing to see the primary chain and drivegear gone. I seem to have a knack for breaking those components.

This engine is giving me a stiffie.
