I have a Rekluse clutch in my XTR & TTR250 they get 1500km filter &
oil changes just to get rid of any clutch plate fiber that may be in the oil...

just put some cheap motor bike oil in it for a few 100 kms...
+1 I agree 100%. Burnt clutch material is a known engine killer, carbon being the hardest substance known to man apparently (except for motorbike seats).
