So - no-one here knows anything abut the "starter clutch" issue?

I am considering returning to motercycling after a long history in the UK, but a long layoff since coming to Canada - so please excuse my ignorance! However the 535 looks interesting, so ... Two questions - one about this "starter clutch" Wikapedia suggests this is only a problem with a couple of years (88, 89?) Is this the case? What exactly goes wrong? Is there any warning of impending failure? is it a total tear down vs simple replacement part, or ...? Secondly is it possible to get paniers and a rear rack and top box to fit, or is this a major tube welding job to add these?
