Solid shout.
Hate to say it, but this will be as minimal effort as can be, was too fucking cold to be tearing the block apart. I'm really hoping I just screwed up the pushrod adjustment. If not, I guess it's time to get at that basket.I reckon it's just friction plates as the slip only seems to occur above a certain RPM.
Clutch-less shifts probably hurt the clutch less than actually using it. Could be plates, just as likely tired clutch springs. It's easy enough to check mate - if you're really lazy (like me) you might get away with laying the bike on the side and not draining the oil to open it up and check.
By the by, if they're flat, I almost never order new steel plates - total waste of cash. Springs and friction plates almost always does the job.
