went down...clutch slipping?
I went down friday the bike fell and was sliding on the right side of the bike..i just replaced the clutch last week with new clutch plates and steel plates. i was able to ride it home but the clutch felt stiffer and would slip around 6k..what could be the problem? also i dont think i torqued it to specific torque but i didnt see the problem till right after i fell

I don't think the fall would change anything with the clutch internals but check out the clutch cable, routing, free play etc... Maybe the cable got jammed up somewhere or is not sitting in the perch well. Also make sure it is adjusted correct at both ends and that the nuts on the adjuster by the engine did not come loose.

Nice. Glad that was a cheap fix.
Are your tires worn out? You should get a new set so you don't go down easy again.
Nitpicking... Don't put your helmet on your gas tank, the gas vapors will break down the materials on the inside, make it stink, and it can fall off and get smashed.
