N2rock's alternative to a bike lift--worked great!

First drop the front footpeg assembly

You will need to unbolt the brake line bracket

After dropping the exhaust header, remove the remaining bolts to the clutch cover and stick them into a cardboard diagram to keep track of them

...because there are many different sizes!

Carefully remove the clutch cover and see if the gasket is reusable
(Don't lose the two locating dowels at 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock!)

Remove one clutch bolt at a time

...and insert a Yazoo clutch shim lubricated with Lubri-Plate (or other white grease) on the end of the clutch bolt

Then torque the clutch bolts to the proper specification (8-12 N-m, or 71-106 in.-lb.)

Then reverse the process to reassemble. The clutch is just a wee bit stiffer, but the slippage is GONE! Nothing but pure TORQUE! Be careful downshifting--both N2rock and I lost rear wheel traction when we released the clutch downshifting and the rear wheel grabbed. Don't worry--we'll get used to having TORQUE ON DEMAND again!
