New Clutch -- Feels so good!
I've noticed a little clutch slip over a year ago. Typical stuff some slip in 6th gear when powering on. A few months ago it got noticeably worse, but still I delayed. About a month ago I noticed it would slip when shifting into 2nd gear.
And last week I couldn't even do 2nd gear power wheelies.
Enough!
Today I finally put in new friction plates.
It took several hours. Getting the old gasket off the case cover was the hardest part.
Holy **** what a difference!
It's like somebody gave me 20hp for free!
Why do I procrastinate and wait so long!
Now I just hope I don't highside myself with all the new power.
The bike currently has 64,000 miles on it.

I should have replaced it at 50k, but I've been milking it, and slipping it for an extra year or so.
