does it slip from cold? or do you have to ride it for a few miles first?
my wet clutch ducati 800ss started to slip at 4500miles, after speaking to a few people it was worked out that because the clutch started slipping after it got warm it was due to the adjustment in the master cylinder, to test this remove the slave cylinder, pump the clutch lever a couple of times, then use an allen key or similar to push the slave cylinder piston back in, if it is solid or very stiff to push back in then try it with the clutch lever removed from the bike, if that is a lot better adjust the piston on the levr pushing into the master cylinder, that should sort it out.
