The clutch on my bike has been feeling rather tight. I did some searches for mechanic tutorials and found one that suggested loosening a nut near the handle bars. That did work for a bit but seems to tighten up after a while.

Can someone help me with some keywords to help my search for tutorials and better diagnose issues?

    Yeah I’m rather new too mechanical work. I change the oil and replaced the rear master cylinder a few years back. I have a Harley Street 750. I think you might be right about lubing the clutch.

      Here is a basic maintenance schedule for the Street 750. Harley folks tend to treat cable maintenance as an annual task.

      Check out someone like cycle gear for cable lube kits if you don’t have a dedicated cycle shop in your local area.

      If you plan on maintaining the bike yourself, see if you can get a service manual for your bike. Harley usually has them for $100 or less. They are not cheap, but it can be a lifesaver.
