I am with Rocket John. I too have had an Intruder and a Vstrom. Both had hydraulic clutch. I wouldn't spend another dime on a bike with a hydraulic clutch. On both bikes I replaced the clutch slave cylinders due to them becoming corroded inside the cylinders and they would not return properly and causing a clutch slip. I replaced the clutch in the intruder due to prematurely worn clutch discs due to this issue.
The clutch cable and set up on the Rocket is superior to most cables but it doesn't hurt to keep a spare cable in the event one breaks, and they do brake no matter what anyone here has to say.
