12000 miles and feels ok, thought it had gave best a few weeks ago but a good blast of comp air and all is well again.

second clutch in 15000 just fitted. Went whilst on a track day at Silverstone. Popped round to see John Baines and he strongly recommended a 48 tooth EVF clutch which he did me a deal on. Only marginally more than standard 12 tooth. Honestly have no idea whether it makes any difference at all but feels pretty good. That might have been more because I could finally blow our one litre rice burning brethren away down the Hangar straight.

Any opinions?

did about 35000 on my 1994 900ss before I changed plates, basket and inner drum which were all in a sorry state.
learnt my lesson after that and only did about 20000 on the 916 biposto before a change, then another 20000 then another change.
got a slipper clutch on the 916SPS only done 2000 miles since I bought it in May, and it has only got 12000 on the clock. I should find out whether it will do 20000 by this time next year.

I agree pedro, clutch riding, too high gearing and traffic use does not make many miles for clutch life.
