Do it yourself and hope it still works when done.

So far I got the clutch reassembled and installed. Should be smooth sailing from here on out. This weekend we'll get a break from the rain so I need to just get it done and go riding.

I got the beast back together and so far I only pulled up the driveway hill and rolled back a few times. The clutch feels good and after letting it idle until the fans kicked in I have no leaks. The oil on the the dipstick looks clean, as it should, but I'll definitely keep an eye on that and hopefully not see any signs of coolant. I just have the cover pieces left and will tidy things up in the morning. And then...wait for it...I'M GOING RIDING!

A well earned and deserved ride, indeed!

I went for a short 50mi ride and all is well. The clutch feels different, better. Whenever I pulled the lever even with the bike off before I could hear some mechanical action going on with the drum and I could definitely hear it with the bike running in neutral. Now when I pull the lever it's so quiet and smooth. I thoroughly bled the thing using up 2/3s of a bottle of dot4 and my fluid never looked so clean. All this was done with 1477mi on he odometer. The video I posted with the loose plate might not mean anything as I had already pulled the release plate off to investigate and after that there is no way to get the innermost plates to seat properly without pulling everything out.
For those who are into measurbating I'll get around to checking the flatness/thickness of the old plates eventually but I need to nerd out on my PC for a while.

Glad to hear all that work was worth doing and has seemingly fixed the problem. Tobad it wasn't real obvious to be able to pin point the problem. Hopefully it stays quiet for the life of the clutch now.
