Logged 750 miles over the weekend after the service and it performed like a new bike again... Neutral was easy, shifting didn't clunk, and no creeping forward at lights if the Clutch lever wasn't 100% (though it should be). It was starting to creep if I relaxed to about 90% // 95% hold pressure.

I think it helps show how easy some of this stuff is but everyone needs to know that a service manual is a must, If I had my choice between the service manual and the video on how to adjust my clutch pack....... i'm just sayin. I still voted yes because I think it shows how easy this stuff is but it definately doesn't replace a service manual.

Not sure how to propose that... I thought the poll and suggestions would catch some attention so it could help others.
