Pull is a little bit less, but not significant. A few tid-bits that I learned. Two Wheeled Obsession has great videos; no doubt. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="👍" title="👍" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png" /> First thing is, the 06 doesn't have the wire retainer holding the first plate. Luckily, I purchased one. Second, I used an electric impact to remove the nut. Bike didn't move forward at all. (Had it in 5th gear and held the brake down with my free hand) Then loaded all the friction and clutch plates that would fit before the Pressure Plate goes on, held the brake with my left foot, and torqued the nut. I didn't drain the oil, just left the bike on the side stand. Beautiful bike to work on, everything is machined to perfection. I measured the standard clutch plates at 2.0 mm. (I'm going to purchase a few 2.6 mm for fine tuning) FYI my original clutch worked perfect, the plates where about -.002 thinner. Was it worth it?  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite24" alt=":unsure:" title="Unsure    :unsure:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":unsure:" />  I spent north of $400 getting here. I went for a 65 mile test spin 1/1/24. I made it home... my guess is, time will tell. Easy job; but kind of unfulfilling. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" /> <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🥳" title="🥳" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f973.png" />I purchased a standard 16 clutch disk for #17. (Yamaha 2H7-16325-00-00) But I'm going to replace that with a thicker 2.6 mm (Yamaha 2H7-16324-00-00) to fine tune my engagement zone. Best of luck.Pete-o</blockquote>
