I've been watching various YouTube videos about clutch replacement,
and one of the possible things one might find is "notching" on the
clutch basket fingers.
Just one question: is this a typical part of a clutch aging, or is it
associated with a certain riding style?
Just from a layman's point of view, I could see it being either way.
Clearly, the amount of torque carried through the clutch is going to
be a risk factor in notching the fingers.
Curiosity question only ... no significance for me.
Thanks.

The former.
Also note that the steel plates will do the same thing to the clutch
inner hub, which is also usually made of aluminum.

Wrong again, Krusty.

This is Krusty. Normal rules don't apply. DFC was 100% right in his
initial conclusion that the wear could be 'either way'.
