I got some head-scratching to do

With a properly adjusted slipper and proper engine tune you can have it where it's idiot proof as far as no wheel lockup. With some of the kit boxes you can even adjust engine braking in every gear with acuation of the secondary throttle flaps.The slipper clutch is probably the best way to make a poor rider better.

A Nelson?

Daytona?   ;D

Sorry I don't have all the worldly experience you do Aaron.  Well, that and I don't talk to anyone.  anywhere.  ever...

I made a general statement.  You made a specific one.

Yes, I will concede that under specific circumstances, you can drop 5 gears and dump the clutch with no wheel slide, and virtually no RPM gain (all with no blip).  However, for the context of the thread, I went with an out of the box configuration, referencing experience and comments from multiple users of both STM and Yoyodyne slipper clutches over multiple different bikes.

Jim's last sentence is probably the most sensible that I've heard on the topic.

I'll just stop now instead of being a d1ck

Well after careful consideration and Jeff's advice I am going to get one. I just don't see paying $1000 for one. There is a thread on the WERA board about a group buy of JTR Slippers. Anyone have any experience with these?

a general statement would be

'A lot of people who have' a slipper clutch try this and about craps themselves when the back end slides like mad.  

a specific statement would be

Everyone who has a slipper clutch tries this and about craps themselves when the back end slides like mad.  

Rider and suspensio training is money better spent than a slipper clutch, once you know what you are doing it is worth considering...... listening Jefferey?  ;D

I put a slipper clutch in my 636 a couple of years ago...
and Ya I just about crapped myself the first time the rear end came around.  

 :P

I heard they require more maintenance / adjustment and don't last as long as a regular clutch...

True?

Whatever Aaron..  I'm not going to argue with you.
