What conditions does it slip under? Certain gears/rpms/heavy acceleration?

The engagement point was fine before. More towards the middle. No I'm letting all the way up almost to catch gear

I have an OEM AP2 Clutch with 48,874 for $60. Worn evenly and has plenty of life still. If you need it, PM me!

Make sure your clutch fluid is topped off. That is a symptom of low clutch fluid and our MC's are known to leak. Mine did this 5 months ago.

Well usually if you take the car to a dealer you are looking at paying upwards of $700 for the labor in changing the clutch. I have changed it myself 3 times already and as it is a one day job (drinking and joking with friends included) I find it cheaper and easier to do it myself. But its not a cheap part to buy brand new either.
