Does anything "wear out" by having the bike in gear with clutch in for an extended amount of time (waiting for a light, etc).
I know it does on a car (premature wear on the release bearing). I guess thats why I keep it in neutral
Also, as a quick follow up question,
Ive done a lot of preventative maintenance on the bike lately, but one thing I havent touched (nor want to), is the clutch.
How complicated is it to do a clutch on a bike like this?
What would a shop charge to replace it anyways?
Mines still good, but just want to get a rough idea in case anything happens
on my trip.
Thanks
The clutch on the G.Z. is a wet clutch & much more durable than a car clutch.It is also a much simpler design & easily replaced.All the components can be bought for less than a couple hundred dollars.
