slipping clutch

[yamaharaptor350]

Yea so I went for a ride yesterday with a few buddies and my clutch started to slip... not sure when it started but I think it was like that the whole ride, I really noticed after I washed it and took it up the road quick. It slipped in every gear, im running 10-40w amsoil full synetic in about 50 degree weather... should I switch to a lighter weight or is my clutch just going??.... mabye adjust the cable??, thanx for any input

i would try to adjust the cable first cz i know when my engine starts to get hot my clutch slips and i adjusted the cable and it helped a little but it still slips after a while.

Hows the oil look? Crappy looking oil is usually an indicator that you're clutch is bad and could explain the slippage. If that's the case then you need to replace your plates.

oils fine... I change it every 2 months, im adjust the cable now and see if it helps at all
