How dependable are these clutches? How many miles to they typically last and how do you replace the clutch?

Can the engine stay in the frame? Do you remove the transmission out the right side and then the bell housing separately or do you remove the transmission and bell housing all as one unit just unbolting from back of motor.

Any video out there of someone replacing a clutch on one of these bikes?

I'm just curious because I'm putting some miles on this bike and figure at some point I'm looking at minimum a clutch replacement down the road. Just want to know what I'm up against.

Years ago I did one on a BMW and it was a nightmare from Elm Street. I remember swearing I would never do one again. It was just flat out horrible, everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. Frozen bolts, the casings were frozen together...on and on.
 
I had a problem with the clutch pushrod on my 2012 Racer. it was repaired under warranty. They removed the swingarm and the transmission to get to it.

Small blocks are similar to the big blocks on average. Clutches will last 40-60k miles (many go much higher). YMMV. Replacement requires either motor removal from the frame, or tilting it out on the front motor mount. It's easier to pull it at that point. I doubt you'll have the same issues as the BMW unless it takes you 10 years to get to replacement, which doesn't sound like it'll be the case for you.
 
So you can just remove the swing arm and transmission then? I guess you still need to lift the front of the motor then?

Any video exist of someone doing this job? Or a step by step pictorial?
 
I don't have the time to watch these, but try THIS link.
 
More likely something on this computer is set up somehow that is blocking stuff from working correctly. Security settings, pop up blocker, who knows. I've tried adjusting some stuff to no avail. It takes me a long time to figure out computer glitches. By the time I figure it out I can't remember how I fixed it. LOL
