Well, bad news. The clutch adjustment was close, but no change in slippage after adjustment inside the chain case, proper adjustment of the cable. So, looks like I need to order the clutch. The Rivera kit I picked out is Kevlar, extra plate and friction disc, and ten percent heavier spring. I figure that is the minimum I need the way I ride. If you look at my Avitar, that's a hint of my style

update!
I installed the Rivera extra disc clutch, love it! I don't feel any increase in clutch lever, but notice it wants to pull the front off the ground on a hard power shift! Also I like the feel, more precise, no hesitation or extended release. It is right there where I like it. Not bad for a product that increases holding power as much as this one does. I assume about 30 to 35 percent more holding power, due to extra disc, bigger inner friction and 10 percent bigger spring? Plus I went with DEXERON III fluid.

I burnt up my first clutch at about 25,000 myself but was only slipping in 5-6. I'll never use synthetic in the primary again! I went with a different brand clutch pack at the time but I was surprised that a cam only bike had to have the clutch pack replaced so soon.

Id add an S/E clutch spring before buying an entire new clutch. Had slipping on a nice build I did. I added the s/e spring and slipping became a thing of the past. I also recommend running regular dino oil in your primary, not ATF or synthetic oil. That is all I have on this subject aside from trying to adjsut the clutch first. Is the motor stock? I can hammer my stock 103 without any slippage.

Interesting why someone would ask are you sure to someone with a Dart that can pull the front wheels off the ground but oh well. However I can see their point, I could measure no wear in mine at 35K. But I have never had my front wheel off the ground in anything... HA
