at what millage do you guys think is the life of a standard f4i clutch?

 

There's no replacement schedule on the factory service manual. Typically, it should last the life of the machine.

It depends on the rider's shifting habits, maintenance, how the machine was broken-in (if it was at all), traffic, weather conditions, brand/quality/grade of oil, etc.

Too many variables.

There's a few riders that have over 50,000 miles on their F4is. Original clutch. It's a simple swap if you have a comprehensive set of tools and race stands, should you ever need to replace it. Get a factory service manual when you do!

 

Yep, no different than a clutch in a car... entirely dependant on how you treat it. If you're one of those that revs up to 6k from a stop and let the clutch out slow, then yea you'll probably be replacing your clutch in the near future. But if you take off easy from right near idle and don't slip it during shifts, then it'll last a long long time. I actually know of somebody that got a brand new car and roasted the clutch in 1000 miles (yea she didn't know how to drive manual, LOL), but me I got 321,000 miles out of the original factory clutch on my Accord (and it never started slipping either, one of the damper springs on the clutch disc actually broke [fell out] and jammed the clutch). My F4i is at 58,000 and on the original clutch and it still grabs in the same spot it did when it was new... never once had to adjust it. So yea really no set mileage intervals, just how well you treat it will depend on how long it lasts

 

i do disagree somewhat with thirdgenlxi, clutches in cars and bikes are way different. and mostly the life of a clutch is around 100k, they wear out as they are not lubricated. of course some can last longer as you mentioned but the majority do need to be replaced.
good info though

 

Again, it depends on the rider.

There's no maintenance schedule for clutches, though.

 

do not do any rolling burn outs. i have done everything on my bike but rolling burn outs, then i started doing them and the clutch didnt last 1 month. note to self......NO BURN OUTS!!!!!!!!!!
