Title: Clutch Life
Post by: ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdea on June 27, 2003, 07:17:52 PM
I was wondering what people are getting for a typical clutch life.  I have a 96 GS that I am using for my wife to learn on, and there is all the abuse of the clutch that goes with that.  I was thinking about replacing it this winter ( along with some other mods) but I wanted to find out how long these things typically last.  Thanks in advance for the input.

I have never had to change one even on my ancient CB360.

Think about all those bikes being stunted and all the times those boys dip the clutch while reving it to top rpm to clutch up a wheelie hundreds and hundreds of times and the clutch still holds up fine.

My CB750 had a good clutch at 60k. I want my '02 to see the same. I think that the trick is changing oil for the GS's.

I replaced the clutch in my YCS1 Yammie at 16500, but it's also 36.5 years old :)
