Hi triple9,Overall i think the slipper clutch is really good when coming up to corners very fast, as you can go down the box 6,5,4,3,2,1 nearly as quick as you have read this without any fear of the back wheel locking up which inspires confidence.
As for if the back end will slide i do not know as i am still running my bike in and have not given it any real wellie yet.
The one and only moan i have is the grinding noise when moving off quickly which sounds really crap on a new bike.
If you are fitting the clutch yourself try and get the alloy/carbon plate set as the standard steel plates wear the alloy clutch basket apparently(common sense i suppose steel rubbing on alloy ) and make sure you place a friction plate in first and a steel spacer in last (which i found out off the experts at JHP amongst others )
Good luck and enjoy.
