Checked all the plates. I now have 10 3.06mm fritction plates and 9 steel plates. The clutch is noicably better. No slip when pulling away, much better lowend grunt but still the problems up the top end.
All the reading i have done sugestest replacing the springs if the clutch is slipping but the vfr seams to have diffrent springs to most other bikes or am i just getting confused and is it worth replacing them??
The other thing that keeps cropping up is using proper oil , as in proper bike oil that has anti slip stuff and is desgined to work with a wet clutch, unlike car oil, which i didn't know. I have yammalube in there at the min so unsure if changing it will help? What oil do you chaps recomend??
I'm pretty convince it's the clutch slliping as it apears to be happening when the engine hits higest tourqe which again, only from what i have read, is the prime time for a clutch to slip. Just thought i would ask you guys for your opnion as everything i have read so far is just genral bike info rather than VFR specific.
I also think she's running a little ritch now as when stoped at lights you get a strong smell of burnt fuel but i guess it's best to sort this problem out first?

It's the goods!
