oil changes are with motorcycle wet clutch oil? auto engine oil has additives that will cause slippage .

SOURCE: Clutch is slipping is there an adjustment? 1997 royal star

Yamaha has a curved washer style clutch spring that it uses for this model. These have been prone to slipping from day 1. Normally when you get on the throttle hot and heavy. A new spring will help the situation for a while but you may have to replace the clutch pack to get more pressure through out the clutch pack if the bike has high miles on it. Maybe the dealer would know if the VMAX spring is heavier and would work as a replacement.

SOURCE: 1999 V Star 1100, clutch slips a bit at high gear,

Very likely clutch plates I'm afraid.

Caution here: What oil are you using? If you have used standard Auto oil in the engine, it will have contaminated the plates and this is why they will be slipping. Bike engine oil is a different formulation because the clutch is submerged in oil. What you are describing is a classic result of topping your bike up with standard car engine oil.

If this is the case, you will certainly need to replace the clutch plates.

Torque specs 03 kia spectra flywheel and clutch plate
Here are the torque specs for the flywheel and clutch plate on a 2003 Kia Spectra: Flywheel: 78 - 80 ft-lbs (106 - 112 Nm) Clutch plate: 19 - 21 ft-lbs (26 - 29 Nm) It is important to follow the torque specs carefully when installing the flywheel and clutch plate, as over-tightening or under-tightening can cause damage. Here are the steps on how to torque the flywheel and clutch plate on a 2003 Kia Spectra: Install the flywheel and clutch plate. Use a torque wrench to tighten the flywheel bolts to 78 - 80 ft-lbs (106 - 112 Nm). Use a torque wrench to tighten the clutch plate bolts to 19 - 21 ft-lbs (26 - 29 Nm). Reconnect the battery and start the engine. Check for leaks. If you are not comfortable tightening the flywheel and clutch plate yourself, you can take your Spectra to a qualified mechanic.

Knocking cluch
How much free play on the clutch cable or is it hydraulic? You must have some free play, if you do not this could be the cause off slipping in 5th gear. Also if all the plates look good , not flaked or burnt, the proper thickness, then you need to check the clutch pack clearance: this is .010 per plate set (one friction/steel). some clutches need to be shimmed to reduce the clearance. Then you can sand/ up the steel plated with 60 - 100 grit sand paper on both sides and put in new springs or a stronger aftermarket spring set. I hope this helps. As for the noise I would ask a dealer as I am not to sure about that. Thanks Rod

Yamaha royal star motorcycle cluch whine and shudder in 4th and 5th gear at any speed
It is slipping. These big yamahas normally have slipping clutches. Mine slips, I've just learned to baby the clutch. Make sure you are in the most comfortable gear for the speed you are running at. Avoid rolling on full power at low speeds in higher gears. It's the nature of these great beasts. Clutch springs are too weak in these bikes, you may consider an aftermarket clutch spring assembly. The "shudder"(intermittent slipping) is caused by glazing. Make sure you are using the right lubricants for your bike, some synthetics can cause problems.

1)Adjust clutch cable correctly, check
2)Pull the clutch assembly apart, if there is little wear then you have "glazed" plates, clean each plate with 600 grit sandpaper and reassemble...get a new clutch spring assembly (weakened spring causes "shudder", slippage, and consequently glazing). Reassemble and adjust correctly (many forums out there with info).
3)Replace the full assembly and adjust correctly at setup. Adjust regularly....I check adjustment about every 300-500 miles.
4)Pay a shop to do these things for you.

Bleeding the clutch hydraulics will not solve a slipping clutch. You probably need to change the fiber plates in the clutch.

My car feels like the clutch/transmission slips for a second. At first it was very subtle..almost wasn't sure if anything was wrong. It has gotten progressively worse. It happens most under high torque...
Aside from a bad plate, there are a couple things that will make a clutch slip. The primary one is overheated springs. When you replaced the clutch, was it just the disk or the whole disk/pressure plate assembly?
The second common reason is a clutch that is adjusted too tight. If the clutch is engaging near the beginning of the pedal stroke, it will get tighter at speed and start to slip. These days it's less of a problem as most clutches are hydraulic. Does either of these make sense for your car? If not, I'm stumped.

Clutch slipping when it get hot
Check the adjustment of the clutch push rod. It is the rod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch master cylinder.
