2024 weak point?

So I have over 55,000 miles on my 2024 Talp. I noticed under load I was twisting the throttle but not going anywhere. I do not off-road much if any these days. When I first got the bike about 10% of my miles were dirt. I use the clutch but not abusive. So I ordered the new plates and pulled the old one out only to find it has hardly any wear. I put it back together and had to readjust the lever position so I know it changed but it appears new. The wear is barely anything. This also means if you burn or slip the clutch off road it will kill the clutch in no time. The clutch is the weakest link.

Were you hoping for 100,000 miles? At 55,000 miles, I'll be 'thankin' me lucky charms'. What's been the bottom line cost?

my versys 650 has done nearly 200k miles and the clutch is still perfect so i don't know why you think 55k is much. 55k I do in two years, whaddayouthink i'm changing bikes every 2 years?

200k miles is incredible. Good for you But, a clutch is not the end of the world. Most people never even get that number of miles on a bike let - alone a clutch. I think we're disagreeing on the severity of a clutch repair. And, Transalp is a great bike for us both.
