I think the clutch plates had soaked up too much oil and were swollen and sticky. Again new plates solved that problem.
Colorado Norton Works has a setup for $204 which may be my next purchase.

This bike only has 7900 miles on it, surprised the clutch could be worn out of spec, but the adjuster was too tight so... could be?
