[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 160779, member: 456"] Remove the shallow inspection cap on the kick start cover and check that there is some slack at the top of the clutch actuating arm. If there is slack in the cable then you need to adjust either the adjuster in the middle of the pilot clutch or the one in the lower part of the kick start cover. If all these are OK then it is almost certianly oil in the clutch. The pilot clutch should hold up to about 50 mph so if the slip only occurs above that speed then oil in the clutch drum is likely to be the cause. Oil gets down the splinse of the shoe carrier and Vincents used sealing compound on the splines to prevent that, My own solution is to machine a hollow at the inner end of the clutch shoe carrier splines and fit an 'o' ring.
