Had some slack in my clutch cable so adjusted it using the inline adjuster, now when I pull in the clutch I hear a popping sound kinda like when you pop the top of a beer coming from inside the housing, anyone know what this is? Thx

Might be engaging too much. Put some slack back in the cable, and pop the inspection cover off. Adjust per manual, then take the slop back out of the cable.

Nut on the clutch ramp is probably not adjusted properly.

Adjust exactly as the Service Manual calls out

Page 8 of 26. Follow it to a T. Also, only use 28 fluid ounces, not 32 if you drain/refill.

And, one more thing, use HD Formula+ in the primary. Clutch hooks up better than other oil.
