With discontinued parts piling up, I’ll keep maintaining the clutch.

I haven’t seen a dry clutch in a long time.
It sure does get “shiny” doesn’t it.

Only four friction plates and four steel plates are available.
The clutch problem on older bikes is quite serious (*´ω`*)

Even Yamaha is still using staples…
When opening packages secured with staples, be sure to use scissors.
It’s better to prevent any accidental contamination.
With heat sealing, there’s no such worry, and you don’t need to remove anything either,
no need for stapler, staples, or staple costs

New parts are always nice. I’m grateful they’re still being supplied.

As wear progresses, the clutch engagement becomes “clunky!”

The rear area looks much cleaner now.
You can easily remove the rear cowl!
Test ride is complete and we’re all done~
