What is the rule or what am i looking for. My question is how soon do you need to change your clutch, or maybe what are you looking for to decide if its time, how long do they last, any info would be a great help

 

I also need an answer to this question, Thanks in advance to anyone with answers and hitman for asking

 

So in hoping for a reply i did some searches if any one has this question go to the search in the menu and type in clutch or clutch problems or clutch slipping, there is enough in there to answer almost any question. so i guess thank you to who ever posted these befor and to who answered them as well

 

replace it when your engine ramps up when you get on the throttle. otherwise just keep it adjusted.

 

Just what Demon said, i have over 25k on my original clutch, it goes to the dragstrip regularly and get wheelied a lot. Still feels as good as the day i got it. Replace it when performance starts to go.

 

ive adjusted it once everything is still good at 34,000miles just amazing what little adjustment i have had to do and im not easy at all on it

 

All you should do is make sure there is lever freeplay in the lever. If not then clutch isn't fully engaging and you'll wear it out sooner. Best rule is to just make sure there is alittle play when handlebars are fully turned to the left and right, making sure the play isn't taken away while steering. As when to replace a clutch, there is no definite time. I have about 65,000 miles on the stock clutch and it is still holding up fine. If you want to see the condition of your clutch i would go riding shift from second to third gear without letting go of the throttle and just clutch it. When you release the clutch the RPM's should drop quickly and hold. If the rpm is hanging up roughly at about the RPM you were in in second gear and doesn't seem to lower as your are slowly accelerating then your clutch is starting to go, and if you are riding it correctly you might not feel the clutch slipping at this point. This is a stress test for your clutch. Don't do it but maybe a few times or you'll burn your discs and then you'll need to replace it anyways! I hope this helps. Email me if anyone needs more info
