[QUOTE="jefferskn, post: 955325, member: 28573"] I did the clutch soak Sunday night on my 05 FJR with 91K on it and it was pretty easy. I just followed the guide at the beginning of this thread and all went well. I did have some inconsistencies though with the guide. I did not have any pink or white dots on any of the plates, discs or rings. I just made sure I put them back in the same order and facing the right way that they came out it but there was nothing to mark the correct notch. Maybe after 91K the paint comes off the discs. My clutch plates were wet on the ends but 80% of the plates were bone dry. I was even able to reuse the gasket with zero leaks. The bike shifts much better, especially when really getting on it and trying to shift between 2nd & 3rd. Before when I would get on it and try to shift between 2nd & 3rd the shifter would not move up. I would have to let the clutch back out and than pull it back in and than it would shift. It was really annoying but that issue is now gone. I definitely recommend the soak for any shifting issues. It took care of my issues and I'm definitely glad I did it. Jeffers, [/QUOTE]
