Hi Ted,
For me, it would depend on the thickness of the plates. 8mm is the "new"
thickness...and they are supposed to be replaced at 7.5mm. If I had over
half left and everything else on them looked good, I'd clean them up and
stick back in - especially since you aren't afraid to do your own work.
:> That's exactly what I did with my Quota plates when I replaced the
rear main seal...no problems since in about 10,000 miles.

I mentioned before that my transmission seal went out and my bike was leaking a lot of gear oil. One effect of that is that my clutch plates were soaked in oil (though they surprisingly didn't slip on the 70 mph 100 mile ride home) Is this a long term problem or can I just use mineral spirits to clean them off and stick them back in?
