Changing the clutch, anything else now I'm there?

Hi all.
About to change the clutch, and thinking now that I'm in there, is there anything else I should change while I'm at it?

Bin reading a lot about a detent spring, is it only if it's broken, or are the new ones upgraded in som way?
Also a wheel, should be upgraded with a bearing, mine has the old one, so I guess it makes sense to change that one.

1 last thing:
I have absolutely no idea what this is called in english, in danish, slør/slup/frigang, so I can't explain it, but here's a link to a video( ), sure you will se the problem. I can move the thing, but nothing happens the first 1-2 cm.
What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance, hope some of you guys can help me out.

Let me get the 05 book out and ill tell you the most likely culprit. But since it a 05 and your in this far i recommend spending the 12 buck for a sump gasket and drop her for a look see fir fragmented bearing parts. This is a preempted inspection.

The spring fatigues and breaks off one of the hooks. It might be a weak point where the installer created a weakness by incorrectly grabbing in or hooking it. If it were my bike I would replace the detent spring and be very carefully hooking it. When mine was replaced at about 35k miles. The new one had a much more positive pressure felt at the shifter.

I suspect your gear change actuator arm bolt is working loose. Pretty soon she will have a floppy shaft. (The bike not you )

Can I get you to explain this further?
What's the actuator arm? And is it easy for me to replace now I'm this far?
