I have been following the Vetch Channel on YouTube for a couple of years now as one of my favorites. He spends a lot of time editing each video to make an interesting story, and does a much better job than I do. His rides follow a pattern that I try to copy on my riding videos, but don't come close to him on quality. A ride usually starts with a map, then comes a long highway ride that ends in a scenic spot, where he makes coffee, or a meal or snack while he views the scenery. I consider him the grand master of the genre. His video this week is completely different, where he reviews the Takegawa Hydro Clutch Kit. The kit for the JA55 (2021-2022 and the JA65 (2023) are slightly different. The only difference I can see seems to be in the main gasket: Here are the links, apologies if someone else has already posted these links:

I ordered the one for the JA65, and arrival at the Webike warehouse is estimated to be two months from now. About $235 US with EMS shipping, and usually my credit card provider adds a currency conversion fee, so the final price is a bit more. Webike usually beats their expected delivery time, sometimes by a month or more. I can't promise that I will have enough energy to install it when it arrives, but if I do, I'll make an installation video about it.
And here is his video where he rides his JA55 with the clutch kit installed. I think this might be his first video where he rides his CT125 off the highway. It doesn't begin with a map, and at 2:50 he makes a turn onto a dirt road, both of which are very unusual for Vetch. It ends with scenery as normal. It is a bit tedious to translate all of the text throughout the video, but in essence he is saying that he very much likes it, and especially that he can downshift at speed more easily now to match the engine and road speeds, and he likes to be able to shift from fourth to second smoothly without having to use third gear. The description section of the video is in English and explains the video and his accessories and cameras.
Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere on the forum.. just notch it off to old age forgetfulness.. LOL
