If you are using an automotive oil, the friction modifiers can cause the clutch to slip. The clutch needs a JASO-MA or diesel engine oil like Shell Rotella.
An improperly adjusted clutch cable and/or release mechanism can also cause slippage.
A very dry or frayed cable can prevent full engagement, resulting in slippage.
Bottom line, eliminate all the routine maintenance problems before replacing the clutch.
