Clutch Slippage?

Hey fellas,

I've got a 2000 Hayabusa with over 33k miles on it and it's still got the stock clutch pack (fibers, steels and springs) inside. I run the bike hard in drag racing, light to light and in roll-ons. The clutch never slips noticably, but I'm wondering if it's slipping slightly and robbing me of a bit of HP.

Basically my question is this...When the clutch starts slipping does it just start slipping noticably or can it slightly slip without the rider even noticing?

BTW, I know what it's like to have a clutch go and slip noticably.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
 
well good question.
i was always wondering if any of my cike evey had a slipping clutch.
i remember often accelerating hard and feeling like a wheel spin but i didn't really think that the wheel was spinning. The rear end wasn't going sideways, didn't hear the screeching sound spinning wheels.
