How to Diagnose Clutch Slipping

Is my clutch slipping at high RPMs or could it be something else?
Here's a graph from my Veypor VR2 of two runs overlaid. Notice the eratic RPM curve at high RPMs.

You can rule out the modified igniter, because I got similar results with a Procom igniter.

Thanks,
GREG

If I'm reading the graph right, i dont think your slipping, I would think your RPM's would increase sharply but it looks like your dipping down.

If the clutch slips on these bikes it will do it at arund 5000rpm in 5th gear when you roll on it.RPMS will go up then fall back down.When i first did my motor I had barrnet clutch with there green springs it would slip like that in high gear roll on.I had to go to the red springs to cure it .

You will know the clutch is slipping because rpms will spike without corresponding acceleration.
