09 nomad clutch

lawdog5839 · 09-28-2009, 10:52 PM

I was checking to see if anyone else with the 09 nomad is having any issues with the clutch, it seems to me that the clutch is catching way to late when shifting from 1st to 2nd and so on, also I noticed that the fluid level in the clutch reservoir seems to be below the line in the sight glass but there doen't appear to be any leaks anywhere. Thanks for any help

Are you checking the clutch level with the reservoir level or bike upright. It should be checked with the reservoir level.

Check my post "Who has a Nomad" in this section for a downloadable manual in pdf for more info if you don't have a manual.

Hope this helps,

3700 miles and the clutch is still working fine. Got a bit quieter when I changed the oil to Mobile 20W-50 motorcycle synthetic.
