clutch replacement not hard. $50 for clutch plates is a trifle optimistic i fear though. approx $105 for 3 plates in UK. don't think US prices any cheaper, or are they?
buy the tool, not essential but it makes life easier. costs equivilant of $96 here, but think how popular you'll be with your looper pals. who say's you can't buy friends?
change all oil seals while you're at it.
if it all seems too much. mark's sounds a good deal.

right

Easy job to replace the clutch plates....cost you $50 instead of $700...which is high.

it is do-able by anyone but does require some fiddling even with the factory tools to get the sucker aligned right without wrecking the intermediate plate.
where you at? anyone nearby willing to show Jason how?

My bike is sound except I believe the clutch has gone out -
should I tackle
this project myself or take it in and have it done? I am a shad tree mechanic at best. What level of expertise is required? I have been
quoted
$700 is that reasonable?
