I can report as a former 99 650 owner . It was my first bike and I put 41k on it ! Thing ran like a new bike as it should if cared for . As far as the clutch goes the lever far out for friction zone is very normal on that bike . It’s very odd but you get used to it and the funny thing about it is you can do a slight pull in for shifting and not have to go all the way to the grip etc. as far as slipping goes I find it hard to believe the clutch is bad already . Double check the oil weight as 20w50 is the norm for oil not 10w30 like ours . Friction modifiers will kill that clutch . Also when it’s tine for tires do a search for the 650 spline lube procedure while shaft assembly is off during tire change . You need Honda moly 60 lube and it’s so overlooked on those it’s must to do . Other than that a very tough bike and reliable . My valves never came out of spec in those miles. I had lots of fun on it and went everywhere with it . Great memories and a great bike !
