[QUOTE="user 90243, post: 1405471, member: 90243"] OK folks. I have finished the slipper clutch/lighter lever pull modification on my Gen2 2010. The bike has 23k miles on it and I had no clutch problems to begin with. The primary driven gear was a little bit "dirty" (black smudges), and a careful wipe-down cleaned it up. Reassembled with the new parts, and it went well. Full of anticipation, I took the bike out for its test ride. The shifter and the clutch lever response were nice and tight; felt like an improvement in precision. I do not experience a miraculous decrease in clutch lever pull force. I have to tell myself that this is a great improvement, but I must confess that I am not blown away by the change. I did this clutch mod for the lever force reduction. As for the slipper design, anybody who knows how to downshift does not need a slipper clutch, IMHO. As a former road racer I don't lock up the rear wheel downshifting anyway. Would like to hear from those who also have done this mod - what do you think now? For the $350 I spent on this, I would give the mod a B+, not an A. Happy to have fresh new parts at 23k miles, but not real sure I would recommend this. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
