Just curious. Why do you have replace a clutch on so new of a motorcycle? Your bike has wet clutch(it's in the same oil as your engine crankcase). If you use a energy saving oil, it will cause the clutch to slip. If you change the oil to a oil meant for wet clutch's, the slipping will go away after 2 or 3 oil changes.
