    I use steel wool in a circular motion.
    If you still get slippage the clutch fibers were contaminated and need to be replaced.
    Try Dan's idea and get some EBC clutch springs. They are 10% stronger than stock.

      but I have not yet seen a 10w-40 with they dreaded "Energy Conserving" designation.

      .
      Oh you so did not!!!!

      I am going to have to take a picture of my 10W-40 now, put it on the photobucket account so I can post it on here to show you there is some energy conserving 10w-40 floating around out there. This may take up to a week as I have bigger fish to fry.

          Thanks out to everybody, as usual. I'll bust it open again just after I get the stainless screws (because I don't know if the originals can take another round).

          One last question: What would contaminate the fiber disks? Oil with additives, or something as simple as sitting in a barn for 14 years? Or won't it matter, as I'll find out anyway?

            If it sat in a barn for fourteen years just ride it and the clutch will work its way out.
