Slipping clutch after a month sitting

Hell everyone.
I bought another VF1000F last month, It is an 85 my other is an 84. So when I got home with my 85, I took her for a ride and she ran very well. I took her out again last sunday and now the clutch is slipping badly. The clutch did not slip one month ago.

My 85 is at 50k and my 86 is at 63k the clutch on this one is rock solid, no slip at any rpm.

Any Idea what can cause this? The bike was inside the whole time.

Thanks for your help.

HAVE U CHANGED THE CLUTCH LEVER, IF U HAVE , MAKE SURE ITS NOT PUSHING IN THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER, AFTER MARKET LEVERS CAN CAUSE ISSUES / BRAKES, SO I WAS THINKING THE LEVER COULD B AN ISSUE / UR CLUTCH SLIPPING ?[quote=“docketo, post:1, topic:3753, full:true”]

Did you change the oil ?

Your two bikes have not had the same life from new with the same owner.
One of my 1000R needed one at 32K miles. Another one at 51K miles.

Maybe it’s just time for a clutch?
