I will be changing my clutch soon because I have recently had some slipping even after changing to different recommended oils, so all that's left is to change my clutch. No from what I seen and heard bike clutches are fairly simple, esp when compared to cars and changing them. My question is since a bike's clutch works off a series of plates which is very basic and standard, is there a such thing as a performance clutch for a bike? Is there one kind or brand of plates that separates from the rest or is it just basically a durability difference? I think i speak for all sport bike riders that we all want the fastest and best performance haha.
OEM are really good. Barnet, ebc, and hinson are good aftermarket brands for clutches. Unless you do some racing id go with OEM

Pretty much. A OEM clutch is strong and will last a long time.

Funny you should mention that... The 1st gen tranny (for some years, if not all of them) had a notorious 2nd gear issue. I seem to remember hearing that a 2nd gen tranny will bolt right up though and fix the problem. *shrugs*

Mhmm thankfully mine doesn't have that. Previous owner said the place he bought it from had the tranny rebuilt. Whatever that entailed, I don't know, but mine's running great at 31k!
