Too many variables....riding style, engine mods, maintenance, etc. There are some high mileage EVO's as well as TC's out there with stock clutches still going.

I have a 01 FXST with 48000 miles I purchased new and the clutch is still strong and showing no signs of needing replacing. I ride hard but do not beat on it and am very meticulus about its maintenance schedule. I think again there are a lot of variables.

I have never replaced a clutch on any Harley in the last 30 some odd years. Most of the bikes had about 50k miles when traded or sold.

Properly adjusted and applied,a wet clutch will last a long long time...even with heavy use..a motorcycle clutch is designed to be used much 'heavier' than an automobile clutch.....
