I have a couple of questions for you long-time brick owners. I've just finished my 3rd riding season since owning it and have now put on 11,790 miles in that time for a total of 41,800 miles. I pulled the drive train out of it in January 2020 right after getting it, which included pulling the clutch assembly for checking the friction plate thickness and for any leaks. The friction plate thickness was measured with a micrometer at various locations and all were in the high 5.2xmm range. I am having no clutch issues and have no reason to suspect a seal leakage, so given what I have said, when would you guys have another look at the clutch? Oh, the splines on the gearbox input side were lubed with a bit of Staburags on reassembly but 2 years ago I went to TS60 on the output side splines. When I do go back into the clutch I'll use a little TS60 there as well.
Also, when would you guys ever drop the oil pan just to check for sludge buildup? FYI this past riding season was 5,000 miles, all on Mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic. Again, having no issues.
Thanks,
Tom
