The clutch engaged and disengages at low speeds so far as I can tell... So the only time you should have wear is at low speeds. I don't think high speed would do anything as it'd remain engaged once you're above 1000, 1500 or 2000 RPM, depending on the clutch arm springs. I expect mine are around 1000 as I've never changed the springs.

I do have 12g sliders, down from the stock 13g rollers. It had a mild but noticable effect. I may consider going down to 10s in the future.

I watch a video on how to inspect and 'service' a clutch to remove glazing from pads and roughen up the bell housing, so I'll be looking to do that when I have some parts come in. I got 2 belts, one for now and one to keep on hand. I figure after 5-10 years, a belt change may be in order.

Just trying to learn if anyone has experience the conditions under which their clutches failed.
