High RPM problem?

[DarkMonster620]

ONE last question, do you ride "lightly" pulling the clutch lever?

If answer is YES, then, is not the bike, it's YOU . . .

No I don't pull the clutch lever lightly... I pull it completely in, shift, then release.

Over 80K miles on the original wet clutch on my old 750.  New owner has no problems.

I have the same clutch in my Speed Triple. 60K miles later. That bike is incredible on chains and sprockets, too. I only have to change them about every 25K and even then the sprockets still look damn good.

Triples are easier on chains than twins.
I-4's even moreso, a friend had a Z750 kawi, chain was still great at 30k.

To the OP, your 796 has the APTC slipper clutch, occasionally they do start slipping under power.
The few that I've seen that were slipping worked fine after shimming the springs.

You will not find any other make of engine that can be made to fit for what you would be willing to pay.

And, IIRC, the only problems you've had were some sort of electrical short, and now the clutch.
Perhaps there were other problems you didn't mention, but I'd wager that's not the case.

I just assumed it was because it's a single sided swingarm so the alignment is always spot on.
To the OP do you use the clutch when upshifting too? Why bother?

I have had other issues, not just with this Monster... You would have lost a wager speeddog lol.

Here are the problems I had with THIS monster so far...
-Would not start in cooler temps (below 65), shop contacted DNA for a fix, exhaust servo needed to be adjusted
-Rear brake looses all pressure every 2,000 Miles, shop said this was "normal" for new monsters. I called DNA and they suggest the same( I call BS)
-Lost right turn signal, OEM wiring had wear exposed which contacted frame, which resulted in short. Fixed.
-Now this clutch issue.

I had a monster 696 2009 (stolen in Hawaii, I had over 25k miles on her, I was the only owner), here are the issues I had with her...
-Starter failure the month after my 24 month warranty expired ($1400). Failed at 14K miles
-Bike would shut off on highway, faulty spark plugs were the culprit.
-Clutch component failed (forget what exactly but, covered under an aftermarket warranty I got after my starter failed)
-Regulator Rectifier( failed at the  EXACT same time the clutch did, the shop said it was not related).
