Change your oil and ride the bike.... It might take a bit of riding, but if the clutch plates aren't damaged that should do it.Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

more than likely you used an oil that said Energy Conserving on the round label on the back of the can...which is what you DO NOT WANT. They have friction modifiers... mainly Moly and will cause the clutch to slip...Make sure to get a non energy conserving non Moly oil.

Exactly what i did, i used a oil that said "Energy Conserving"
I didn't notice the slip until i put my girl friend on the back and tried to accelerate up a hill. never really noticed it without her on it except when i was WOT and shifted real hard.
The oil i got doesn't specifically say its for motorcycles and wet clutches but it doesn't have the "Energy Conserving" label on it. i was wondering if there is a big difference between a generic oil and a motorcycle specific oil.
Has anybody noticed a difference?Comment

I used Turco(?) T-1 blended motorcycle oil with MPZ friction reducer that's supposed to impregnate the surfaces. Another "modified" oil to not use. Clutch started slipping when I'd roll on the throttle at 4k on the tach. Just changed oil to the T-4 straight petroleum oil. I hope time and miles with the non-additive oil clears up the problem.82' XJ1100 turned "bagger" with Vetter Fairing.Comment
