Thanks,

It turns out that the clutch is not bad, just the clutch slave cylinder, so I was able to drive it home. I had to turn it off at stops and restart in gear..

One thing I did notice is driving back it wouldn't hold highway speed at times without the assist going on. Yes, it was a 20 mph head wind, but going up an overpass it wouldn't go over 65 mph sometimes 60.. Is this typical or does it have a weak engine? or maybe I am use to lugging the big 1.9L saturn engine.

It was OK when I was drafting an SUV, seems like it's not as aero as the Saturn.

The battery pack was replace free by honda in 2008.

Nice tail on the upright commuter bike.
