Clutch Friction Disk Disintegrated, Why?

Hmm. As it so happens I was doing low speed turns when my bike wailed is crunching sound of agony. Not much though, I sometimes do like 10 - 15 figure 8s in my parking lot at work and have done them before without issue.

How much of your 8's use your slipping clutch and how much no clutch? This is a rhetorical question. I've done slow circles to practice U-turns and found I don't need to slip the clutch 100% of the time. Balance and brake/throttle work for a lot of it. If you are slipping the clutch a lot when practicing 8's that might constitute too much wear and overheat the disks
 
The transmissions i seen contaminated with coolent looked like a strawberry milkshake. Was rebuilding them since 1972. Closed shop in 2004 and have no desire to mess with anything newer than 2005.

Correct, coolant in the Engine is Chocolate colored , and yes in Automatic's Strawberry colored. Still tastes horrible.

My 2006 ST1300 identifies as a 2004. Will you work on it?
