  1. They are lower. You are not imagining it.  They changed the length of the "dog bones" in the rear linkage.  They can be changed to the older part number.  The rental guy my friend dealt with in Chiang mai had new bikes with old length dog ones in them.  The change in the newer models was made to accomodate Thai people.

  2. The problem lies with not driving the car very often. When autos are stored and not driven. The part of the seal which is at the top of the box dries out and goes a bit brittle. This causes the first few applications to bleed fluid past the seal, not allowing full clamping force. So the clutch slips which you feel as a shudder. When it's really bad it will flare. Meaning, the engine revs up before the clutch engages. There's not much you can do. Some use Lucas stop slip product. Works when it hasn't started slipping too bad.

    Good luck. Maybe time to sell?
