Clutch Slipping?

Clutch Slipping?
My clutch seems to be slipping after doing all my mods. I have always used the Kawi 10w40 oil. I just put on a 13t sporcket, Two brothers, and rejeted.
Any suggestions? Can you adjust it?

Are you putting car oil in the bike? It's not just about the weight (10w40.)
You can adjust it but none of the mods you've performed will have altered its performance. The adjustment is just for the cable (for when the lever actuates the clutch engagement.) You may have fried your plates (cheap easy fix.) If the cable has some slack and it's still slipping then you'll have to look inside.

Seeing the you are using Kawasaki 10w-40 oil, that rules that out.
Chances are the plates are done. The clutch pack is easy to get at and should only take an hour or two to do the job.
One thing to check is the clutch lever. Makes sure there is about .25~.5 inch of play with it released.

The clutch plates wouldn't have gone out that soon unless you were seriously roasting on that lever. I've abused mine through learning to ride, getting stuck in sand.... and mud... and I've yet to notice any decrease in performance. Check the cables? They may need lubing. If the cable is hanging it could cause slippage by engaging it even though the lever is free.
