[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1329936, member: 3372"] Fred It's interesting you stated that the initial pull is stiffer on the old clutch. That makes sense because it is a diaphragm spring. The flatter it becomes the less effort it takes due to its inverse progressive nature. The new slipper design uses 3 coil springs; most likely of a straight rate design. I am curious about how the slipper aspect works in this new design. Would anyone care to elaborate? From the looks of it it is also do-able for the 2nd gen bikes too. However, the Advanced Edition bikes should stay away from this modification. The electronics are programmed for the stock clutch, and I would think something like this would not play well with it. The other reason for staying away is that there is no need to do it we have no clutch handle pull AT ALL to deal with, and our slipper is electronically activated. One other thing the gentleman mentioned in the video was to flush the clutch fluid annually. A very good idea, because the fluid seems to degrade quicker, it turns darker earlier. It's a quick easy job - even for the AE model, no need to remove the swing arm, just cycle the ignition switch to pump the fluid out the speed bleeder. The gentleman posting the video did a nice job presenting the task from beginning to end. For those of us who are practiced wrenchers, he may seem rather long winded, but for someone who hasn't done something like this before the extra time he takes to thoroughly describe the job would be a godsend.
