Answer: I'm not doing it!

I've decided that come 6k (currently 5,400 on clock) i'm gonna pay for a major service. Job done then, have the belts changed, all lubricants replaced, valve heads checked- the full business. This thing is getting looked after!

By the way, i am new to riding and so wouldn't do this anyway BUT my friends has read in MCN that once comfortable with gear changing at full throttle or basically when you're hammering it, you should be changing without clutching but is this still right with a duke... I know the clutches are dry and this makes me think set up might be different?

Thanks again for the input, guys.
