with regards to your clutch, i replaced mine last august on a 225 rapido, i opted for MB uprated springs and surflex plates, done 3000 miles on since and know slipping whats so ever :D

Think you might find the Piston ring gap is now too large to fully compress effectively.... they sometimes wear out in under 1000 miles.... So I would check the end gap on the rings and replace if worn... anything above 30 thou... IMO
