The 900 should be as easy as replacing the clutch was in my old 99, and I had that down to less than two hours total time working completely alone. The two most important "tools" were an old sparkplug wire which I used to hold the pressure plate fingers depressed (depress the clutch, place a piece of wood or pipe between pedal and seat to hold pedal depressed, shove sparkplug wire between fingers and pressure plate housing, remove pedal depressor) and an extra clutch M/C reservoir cap that I had drilled to install an air valve in it. The air valve allowed me to bleed the slave cylinder without a helper. Two or three strokes with a bike pump would pressurize it sufficiently to bleed the system. Regards, James
