Nahhhh, it's alright. I have already replaced the clutch in my bike, and the one I just bought has a new clutch installed already. I may not need the socket again, but it's just the principal of the thing. I bought a clutch socket from Motion Pro but had to modify it.
The borrower lives in Columbus, OH. Upper Arlington to be exact.

If that nut is like the ones on my Honda dirt bikes, you can make your own rather quickly. For my dirt bikes, a 5/8ths donor socket, 6 point with nice thick walls. Pick a part of the socket where the walls are thickest, and mark off 2 opposing points.
A few minutes with an angle grinder, and you have your castle nut socket!
Did the same thing with a 3 foot piece of gas pipe to get the ones at the bottom of forks. Now I have some super long socket extensions, I use that same donor socket.

Hard to say... I grew up around stock car racing, and had my hand in engines when I was a wee one. But for me it was lots easier than I thought it would be. I was just glad I didn't have to remove a bunch of stuff to get to it.
It was easy for me, but I can't speak for everyone. Obviously if you can have the bike on a bike jack, it'll help a lot... Just be patient, which is something I have a hard time doing at times...

Funny how things go. After doing a head gasket replacement, I wouldnt mind replacing a few more head gaskets.
I guess its just the experience. all that said I think I will wait till the off season just incase something goes wrong. WOuldnt want it to take up my riding days.
