variable pressure clutch; they will slip on a high rpm launch as they need rpms to grab.

Thanks for the info. I am chasing a slipping clutch and thought about changing the spring to see if that would help.
I find it hard to believe the plates are worn out already, the bike only has 36K and most of that is highway miles. I have adjusted the clutch a couple of times now and it is not making much of a change. After some closer examination last night, I am now leaning towards the possibility that the clutch cable may be dragging. I am only noticing the slippage under full throttle between shifts in the upper gears. If I wait a few seconds after the shift and apply the throttle, it does not seem to slip.
I rode around 2-up this weekend and did not notice any slippage as well, of course when I am 2-up I ride a lot more conservative.
Anybody have any thoughts?

Nope, just plain 20W-50 (at least the bottle was not marked as having friction modifiers).
