clutch slip

Not been on the forum long and hope someone can help...my clutch is slipping and having read the threads checked the adjustment, changed the oil and measured the plates which are reading 2.9mm-3mm put it all back together and its still slipping. Im sure the adjustment of the arm is in the right place but it still slips.but I I have adjusted cable but I cant get clutch to work correctly.  I was going to buy new clutch plates and springs but dont want to waste money

could be oil contamination. car type oils can cause this as they dont have the correct friction modifiers for a wet clutch.. if it is and to be honest for the price just fit a new clutch and hd springs..

Did you check if the steel plates were warped....

it only takes one not to be flat...
hold them against a window..they should sit flat...

Good tip Pete! Steve checked his steel plates out using your method yesterday.

He reckoned the window cleaner would be none too pleased though biggrin

Hi Just an update, the clutch plates arrived today with uprated springs and fitted into place without problem. I thought I would also replace the clutch cable and to be honest I think this was the problem. I couldnt even move the cable with my hands so I suspect with the bike not being used for some time its was seized. I didnt think the cable would make it slip that is why I changed the plates...we live and learn.
