Never had a tranny or clutch or related problem and I've had plenty of bikes on which I racked up over 70k miles. There's no need to use the clutch except for starting, stopping and downshifting, AND after a while, after one learns to match revs, one can downshift in pretty near every gear with the exception the 2-1 down shift.Guess I know what I'll be trying from now on. Appreciate the forum here for showing what other people are doing.
The motorcycle tranny is constant mesh, unlike mostly all auto/truck trannys, so it's a non-issue, a no brainer. Hurts nothing unless one is a totally inept rider.
Plus, I've never replaced a clutch cable
