Slipping clutch

[VGO42]

I have '85 XV 1000  just got it running decent, but the clutch is slipping terribly. Ichanged Friction Plate and clutch springs, the steels were very good shape so I left them in, now it is still slipping just as bad.
does anybody have any suggestions? Thanx.

Check your cable adjustment following the procedure in the Clymer's Manual. Another cause could be the oil you are using....... If you are using synthetics or any oil with additives for limiting wear will cause it to slip. Use only regular dino oil. I use Castrol GTX 20w50 for summer use and 10x40 for winter.

Ditto on the oil.  My XV750 was slipping when I would push the throttle and once it started to respond the clutch would slip during acceleration.

I dumped the oil, and put in some specifically for motorcycle/wet clutch, and the problem disappeared immediately.
