CLUTCH IT!!!
seriously i have never heard of any one going through clutches every two weeks! well besides world gp racers and yes i do know a handful or pros. anyway besides the point. once you get used to clutching it you will never, NEVER go back. no one ever does. just practice it. anyway ask any pro and they will tell you no diffrent, Guaranteed!

My friend that goes through clutches went through one clutch learning rolling and circle burnouts, cause he wasn't releasing the clutch all the way out. Went through another clutch trying to learn twelve's by standing on the rear brake and popping the clutch so the bike would come up slow and controllable, and a couple more learning various ****. We didn't always replace the whole clutch sometimes just the friction disks, and other times re-surfacing the metal plates. There is no doubt there was some rider error being the factor of the clutches going out I.E. not releasing the clutch all the way, riding the rear brake to much and putting added stress on the clutch, but i ain't bullshitting about having to replace the clutch once every 2 weeks for the last 2 mo. or so. Also what i'm refering to is that the clutch would slip and not bite when disengaged, not that the clutch was completely useless. I don't have to lie to kick it so what would be my benefit in making the clutch issue up? Also maybe we're loggin more miles than usual on our bikes, Skillz said he's got 12,000 mi. in 3yrs, I've already got 3,800 mi. and i bought the bike new 4 mo. ago.
