I put it on, followed the instructions, replaced the gasket with an OEM, I have ridden about 200 miles on it so far with no issues. Going to do about 1,000 this weekend, so wish me luck.
I did not notice any real difference in the clutch pull, but I did notice that the clutch did stop slipping. I replaced the friction plates, but not the clutch plates (should have bought the whole kit), but the plates still had the dimples and looked good.
48k miles on the OEM.
Good luck, as long as it fixes your issue and you are happy with the result, I consider it a success!!
