Clutch slippage is a combination of problems
Worn/ weak parts and incorrect adjustment leads to faster wear and premature release/or incomplete release causing ride problems and accelerated wear
I would first do a good clutch adjustment ( by the book) on a cold engine
Yeah I did redo the adjustment today. It feels better fluid little dark Lol ! Just wondering if I should change out the type ? But I guess it's just one of those things where you live, ride and learn as you go !

So what do you use in the primary?
Do you use the correct level? This makes a huge difference on how the clutch can drag and or slip

Had been using Formula + , I just tried redline light weight shockproof gear oil. I like the feel after the change.

I do try to make sure it's correct. just a tad less then a quart.
Does your extra plate set up use a newer improved pressure plate ( diaphragm spring )
