How long did your original clutch last?

For all you 748/9xx owners. So how long did it last? either before you changed it or it wore out. I'm just curious.

over 16,000 but when Neil Spalding removed it he did say it was the most battered clutch he had EVER seen come out of a road bike and keeps a couple of the plates to scare customers with ...

I changed mine for a slipper clutch at around 11k miles - it was pretty hammered. The 2,500 miles I'd done on it to that point were city commuting in London, lots of clutch slipping.

Mine is on 7.5K and still going strong after larging it in the highlands for the last four days... My grin looks a little like this -

Mood: Finally gotten over the 748R getting stolen thing. Actually, no i haven't !
9800 miles from new so far, getting a little past it now.
I have been told at 5200 miles it was shagged on the 6k service and at 9400 this winter, more believable that one.
This is a slipper on a 748R

I've just changed mine at 24,000 miles.

The basket was pretty mullered but I was on my original set of plates (the lugs on them that meet the basket were also mullered but the friction material was still in good shape and could 've done more miles).

Changing plates at 7500 after experiencing extreme grabbiness, but others have said my basket will probably last another set of plates with a little cleaning up.

Yeah but those American miles aren't as big as proper British miles, are they?
