You're not asking me, but I'll comment I went 162,000 miles on the original clutch on a KZ650 Clutch is like anything else, if you don't abuse it, it will last a good long time.How many miles did you get out of the clutch pack you are pulling out?

The worst part is removing the old gasket remnants. Other than that, it's extremely easy job. You really can't assemble the clutch wrong, just put on a fibre plate, then a metal, then a fibre ect, until all your plates are on then bolt the clutch back together and you're done. 2-3 hours should easily handle the job.
Very cool. Thanks for the straight scoop.

I've had the bike for aprox. 4 years now. It had about 32,000 KM's on it and now it reads a little over 50,000 KM's. I treat the bike well but lord knows what life it had before I got it. My front fender had a horizontal crease in the back were the frame cross member nailed it, from the old owner doing wheelies. The old horse is still reliable and treats me well, so I try to do my part.

That'd be nice.. Guess you'd need to top it up though.
It's probably just easier to do it with an empty oil pan..?
