I'm just going to take a look at it myself at this point; can't be bothered to pay for another useless opinion. Never taken a clutch apart before but I'll just poke around and see if there's anything obvious. I still suspect it's the pilot bearing based on just about everything I've read, so if its not spinning smoothly i'll replace it. What could go wrong
Having taken apart the clutch on my 250R, I can tell you that it is a relatively painless job. You will want to pick up a new gasket for the cover, as the one in place will tear very easily when removing the cover. Just be gentle with the little bolts, they are soft and tender, as is the cover. Good luck!
