Sorry to dissagree Trident but the only way to go is to strip it all out and start again. Measure every thing and replace most of it.
The main culprit WILL be the shock absorber assy which will have more slop than a sausage in a bowler hat. The clutch will allways be on it's service limit purely by it's design. Why, oh why do motor cycle clutch designers run friction material in oil???????? The reason is to lubricate the primary chain. Fit a belt and a PROPER DRY clutch and your problem will be solved, BELIEVE ME.
Alloy pressure plates and radial lift bearings only disguise the design fault in the clutch, which was designed in 1952 (with shock absorber) and a SINGLE row chain, not duplex or triplex and for power in the region of 35bhp MAX.
It's quite simple to calculate the clutch torque capacity and when you do it for a T140 it IS on the limit from new :hammer:
