Clutch life

Do we have any data on clutch life?  My K75 got 60/90/120k with  heavy, medium and light use.  I have 70k now on the 885 with medium use.  What is the chance that I can get another 20k out of it?   If I need to rebuild it, I would rather do it late winter/early spring than late summer.

any issues with it slipping or chattering ?
If not you should easily see 100 k or more  the clutches are pretty robust

Running on the same stock clutch for 81k miles, and still using the forbidden Mobil 1 car oil (with friction modifiers). No problems as of now.

A few years ago I was on a charity ride and met a fellow with a 96 steamer approaching 100K on the clock.  His was still running strong with only routine maintenance.  Once you address the few quirks, the Triumph triple is very sturdy motor.   Of course if you like burnouts, hill climbs, and wheelies, then you'll need to replace it sooner.

No slipping or chattering.  Sounds like I can safely get another year. Good to know.  Thanks for the info.  

Is there any lever adjustment possible with hydraulic clutches or do we get what we have?
