My Kawasaki W650 goes clunk when going into first from a stop, I hardly use the clutch at all, it now has 30,000 kms on it with no problems.
I learned how to drive on cars with no syncros in the gear box at all, so it was double de-clutch every gear shift. Both myself and my wife hardly use the clutch while driving around except for starting off, my wife's car is a 03 Cooper S six speed. We have never replaced a clutch or gearbox that was worn out in our lives and we have been driving for 30+ years.
If a driver does not understand how a gearbox or a slushbox works then they can cause untold damage in the long run by misusing it.
