Oh, it functions very nicely, just the same as the version 1.0 clutch (after I got its internal clearances set properly), as posted in this thread from last year:

Ever since then, I've never experienced the dreaded 'stuck clutch' syndrome, requiring one to kickstart with the clutch lever pulled in to free the plates. And the dreaded 'clunk' (possibly followed with a 'lurch' and engine stall) when entering 1st gear. It just goes 'snick' when entering 1st.
With the engine idling, clutch lever pulled in, and in 1st gear (or any gear for that matter), I can roll the bike fore and aft, just as easily as if it was in neutral...
