| This explains why my tranny began the slip-clunk... It used to only do it
around 4500 RPM (always in third gear) and full throttle.  Now, 13,000 miles
later, it will do it at relatively low RPM and light throttle. Am I headed
toward a catastrophic failure?


Bob, it sounds like your transmission is doing exactly what I and numerous
other people have complained about before total failure.  I would be leery
about going far from home with it.  Fortunately I was only 200 miles from
home and it cost me $150 to rent a truck to transport the bike and myself
home.
