rd, I just slip the clutch as needed. Yes, that seems like abuse but the clutch seems to deal with that. At the same time, I change the oil pretty frequently and I'm sure I'm flushing out lots of clutch crap. The clutch is made up of drive and driven plates. They are $16.50 and $3.90 each...X5. As a worst case you are looking at $120 more or less. Even if you have to replace the clutch plates it's really not a big deal. With that said, I cannot recall anyone having to do that, even the folks with 20-30K miles on their bikes seem to be on the original clutch plates. Spud and others, feel free to chime in to correct me.
