    Clutch and output shaft issues.

    First off my 2005 R3 is stock (the engine anyway) has 35,000 miles and had the output shaft bearing replaced at 13,000 miles.

I currently have two '95 Speed Triples, a '98 T-bird Sport, a '96 1100 Shadow and a '73 CB750. I currently build MRAP trucks for BAE Systems for a...
