Bound to happen? I have a 94GS with 165000KM on it...can I expect my clutch to fall off within the next year? I wonder what the average life expectancy is of the stock clutch...

I have 220,000 Klm and still running original clutch, however it does need to be replaced anytime now. I shift without using the clutch as much as possible to expand my clutch life. <BR> There are no set life spans on a clutch as there are many different factors that determing wear and tear. eg city driving, cluch ridding, number of different drivers using the clutch and the obviouse your own ability to drive standard.
