I have used cheap car oil in previous oil changes and noticed the clutch did slip of fast takeoffs Coming up to service time so going to stick some proper bike oil in next to see if there is a difference. My engine has 52k on it now with 30k being done by me with loads of different oils used... Now ...

The shock spacer increases the angle at which the bike sits to gain better handling. In doing so it also increases the distance the side stand needs to reach (slightly), so increasing the lean of the bike (think triangles)
