Yesterday I took a little, what some would call, technical ride on the GS which was mostly 1st gear sometimes 2nd gear riding with plenty clutch work, started to smell after a while so I backed off.
This got me thinking about how much abuse these GS1200 clutches can take and being an air cooled motor the radiater doesn't boil therefore you get no indication on how hot the motor is running.
Anyone have an opinion on these two concerns or am I just worrying for nothing? :-\
