Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. Yup, I talked with a mechanic who's seen my bike a couple of times, and he nailed it...pretty much telling I went way wrong when I added fully-synthetic. That will teach me  .
So I'm on the lookout for new clutch plates. Scoping Ebay as I type this. There seem to be plenty of kits available, now I just have to pick the right one.
Everywhere I hear, clutch plates change are not all that hard...I'll find out soon enough, as my guy quoted me in the $400+ range, and I can't swing that. Besides how am I going to learn this stuff unless I tackle it myself, right?
So looking at my German-written manual, I believe I can at least attempt to do this myself. As I've never been inside a clutch, would something like this on Ebay work?

I'd just need to replace the plates, right? The housing should be OK? What about the friction plates? Any other parts I should replace while I'll be in there? I'll get new spring as well btw.
Thanks guys, gotta love free advice from gear heads.  You guys RULE!
