What would it hurt to try that before rebuilding the clutch?
The newer compensators I’m vtold don’t wear well with ATF.

No slippage on my '15 Ltd with TTS-100, 2-1 exhaust, high flow AC, running Redline primary case oil and stock clutch.

How many miles on your clutch now? Indy smoked my clutch on the first test ride after bumping from a 96 to a 103 with cams but mine already had over 100,000 miles on it. He rebuilt the clutch and used a heavier spring. It's been fine ever since.

Unless an adjustment will stop the slipping, changing oil is a short term fix that may or may not work right off the bat anyway. If the plates aren't worn to bad, you may get away with just the heavier spring,

FYI - Heavier spring also means heavier clutch pull. If you don't want that and you have the money, look into the VPC clutches or ask the tuner for his advice.

Thanks all for the input!! For the guy that says TTS sucks....my dynotuner was working over my bike and it was a tricky one to get dialed in. On day 2 (which was a saturday) we were doing flight recording adjustments, I was there, my tuner was there of course and Steve Cole himself was there on the phone and working on my map from his computer. I say that beyond excellent service.

My stock clutch slipped when I first put this engine build on the road and I was all ready to go with a new clutch pack. But the clutch disks looked good and my project funds were running low so I decided to try the SE heavier clutch spring first and go from there. There has been no slipping since I changed the spring...but working the clutch in prolonged traffic can be a real **** on the hand arthritis.

TTS (the turbo shop) \ (mastertune) will always be a no good POS thieving company and I will discourage anyone from dealing with them at every opportunity
