Not certain as to the power, it has not been dyno'd. I'm 215lb, and if I'm sitting normally, I get front tire lift at 7500 in first, and it sprints through to redline in fifth without much hassle, and then slowly goes on to about 10,500 before it starts misfiring. Does that sound about right for stock? I should also note I'm down a tooth on my drive sprocket... I do too much highway mileage to be screaming along at 5000rpm all the time. Swapped that out early on.

I know a race trans'll shift harsh, so that is where I'm having issues. I ride the hell out of my bike on weekends, but it is also my daily commuter.

I know the clutch itself is toast (slips, wobbles, etc...) but my tranny, today alone, has decided that coasting down in first is against it's will, and always spits me into neutral at around 4000rpm. It will also normally kick me out of third, requiring an upshift to get back into 3rd, or a downshift which normally lands me in neutral.

I'm open to anything. Who makes a solid reman or new tranny? Hopefully something that comes prepped in such a way to be more or less an easy job.
