millage of clutch and oil change fitting was 29000 miles in august . millage today january 31152 miles 5months later clutch is slipping !

if it is that the zxr doesn't like fully synthetic, it may be worth taking out all the plates and cleaning them in a solvent, e.g. acetone or trike to remove the fully synth from the plates, then deglaze them, check specs and put back in with semi synth, it solved mine for 6 months but I hadn't changed the oil to semi :wanker . that should remove the old oil and put the friction surface back on, worth a shot before you fork out another £100

I'd be checking the spec before doing all that cleaning and deglazing nonsense.
