    Greetings and salutations, old friends. After too many years of adult obligations getting in the way of my XJ, I've started tinkering on her again. I've got the clutch apart and was measuring the disc thickness. All the discs measure higher than the minimum recommended thickness, but not by much. (within 0.1 to 0.2 mm) I've decided to swap them out anyway but I was curious what their thickness was new? My bike has a hair over 30k miles so I wanted to be able to gauge just how much they've worn in that time. Also one of my pressure plate springs measured up short so those will be getting replaced as well. Oh, and the bike is an '83 750 Seca. Thanks, in advance for any input.

    Thanks for the measurements. They don't wear much, but I know from experience that it can make a world of difference.
