Ok, what have I missed?

Thanks for the input guys,
But checked the springs, all within tolerances.
No its not a new tyre, and if I'm spinning the wheel how come there is no smoke?
And I don't think there was any car oil in there, unless someone put some in my motorcycle oil container.
As for adjusters???????
Any more sugestions?? Or is it just time for a new bike!

A bit of hassle, but try taking the plates out and cleaning them with a good degreaser - they may be contaminated as you suggest. Are the plates all the correct way round (i.e friction plates and pressure plates)?
PS a lot of fully synthetic bike oils make the clutch slip (I'm not talking about car oils with friction modifiers either). try a semi synth or non synth oil and see if that cures it. I bet the clutch basket is in the wrong order though. Got a workshop manual to use as reference?

Adjustment.... Hard to be specific, but there may be a screw on the end of the actuating pushrod held with a locknut. (MAY BE!) If it's there, I would expect it to be hiding around the slave cylinder actuator.
If you have one, release the locknut and turn the adjuster in gently until it just bites and then back it off a fraction. Lock up, job done.
You might not have one, but if you do, it's possible it's holding the plates off a fraction.
Dumb question, but you don't use any oil additives do you?
