I would think that making clutch slip a thing of the past, combined with light operation force, would have been important design goals for the UCE. It shouldn't be behaving like a Classic with filter/muffler upgrades and standard clutch springs.
I remember gazing in wonderment at the clutch on my new Honda 250 in 1980. The basket was the same size as my Triumph 650 and the lift mechanism bore against a caged ball bearing! I could pull that clutch in with one finger and it never dragged or slipped, no matter what heavy use I inflicted upon it.
I remember thinking, "so it didn't take rocket science to make a clutch work after all."
