Hi

It feels as though my clutch is slipping a bit, but only when the bike is cold.
It's an XR650L.
After 5 or 10 minutes (when the engine warms up), it's solid.
The bike has done around 24,000 km.

Is my clutch as its end, or could this be an oil issue?
I'm not sure what oil is in the bike, I haven't had it long, and haven't needed to top it up or change it yet.
-or is it just something these bikes do?

It doesn't seem serious yet, but I'd like to know if I should be planning for new clutch plates.

-Raphael
