Well I managed it, the bike still shifts into gear and moves forward so calling that a win. The old clutch plates were all annoyingly in spec so not as confident about the new one eliminating slip, but we'll see.

I know what you mean, it's always hard to find the time but once you button everything up and ride the recently serviced bike it's so worth it.

You might find the tiniest change makes that big difference. By the way are you using fully synthetic when the bike might benefit from semi?

The 90’s bikes rarely benefit from fully synthetic and I definitely got clutch slip even on the XJ with old plates and fully synth.

Hopefully new clutch plates help. Although the old ones had only done 16.5k, they were 23 years old so that could be a factor. Good call on the oil, I'm a big fan of Motul 5000 semi-synthetic which the bike has always seen in my ownership. Fingers crossed for the next ride.
