I'll get to riding as soon as I can get the turn signal fixed and get a little better with this cold. I'm going to have the case open at some point anyway. You don't think I should take the opportunity to tinker with the clutch?

You're suggesting that I won't know what I need until I get more experience? Correct?

You actually sound a lot like myself talking to my Dad. He doesn't even have his learner's permit, and yet he's went to the trouble of buying used saddlebags, a windshield, and crash bars . I tell him that he should ride the thing naked until he has the experience to know that he needs all that stuff. I gather windshields can be problematic if they are not done just right. Of course, I have (or had) a personal interest here, so it is a bit different. I like relatively naked bikes.

Adding all that unnecessary junk, and he'd be lucky if he's ever taken it much past the mailbox, much less the highway . What a shame, what a waste

That's kinda how life goes around here.

Suzuki uses the same clutch plates in bigger badder bikes than the Cabbage. Also in smaller strokers, too. It is just fine. Kevlar all you want but it will make no difference.

Just because someone might need to see that twice.
