[QUOTE="mshrout, post: 1446988, member: 98055"] Yes , all very good and correct advice from all. IF you are running mobil 1 car oil, STOP. IF the clutch is already slipping, its telling you a few plates may be already burned and if you continue to ride it will eventually leave you stranded or limping back home as it won't make any forward motion and motor will just spin up. My 2 cents, go ahead and purchase a new clutch pack, fiber and metal plates. Soak the fibers in motorcycle specific oil a few hours, while you are pulling clutch cover off. As you remove parts, assembly is reverse of disassembly. You will have a fiber plate, then a metal plate etc, etc. You will most likely find bluing color on the metal plates and scuffing on the fibers. You go down that far, put the new clutch pack in. Button it up and put new oil and filter in bike, start it up and let it idle. That should fix your slipping issue for the next 50k miles, depending on your riding habits. [/QUOTE]
