Clutch life

[AndyCam]

Anyone got any ideas of clutch life on the 1150GS? I have 40K on the clock of my 02 regd Beaky Bird and wonder how long the clutch with reasonable use lives on for

Do the words 'string' and length' mean anything to you?




(sorry, couldn't resist it!)

and my 1100 needed a new clutch at 17k miles - way to many variables i.e. town riding, long rides, two up +luggage etc etc = hence long dogs comment

Thanks for the info boys. I had an 1100 Gs from 1000miles to 37K with no clutch probs. I am off to Morocco next April on this 1150 Beak (2nd time) by then I will have about 48K on it (can't ride in the Grampian mountains between dec and March due to 1meter of snow most days). I was just considering a bit of preventative maintainance, if for example people were experiencing clutch failures around 55 - 60 K it would be worth renewing before Morocco as Garages are like rocking horse sh*t once you pass the Atlas going south.
