check the condition of the hydraulic fluid in the clutch reservoir, it quite probably needs bleeding and giving new fluid
you didnt change from fully synthetic to part synthetic did you?
sometimes i find it just slips a little for a while after changing oil but goes away after a few rides
good luck

I've just used Comp 4 15-50 (semi-synthetic) in mine, should be ok, never use fully synthetic, apparently it causes clutch slip. Also, i've heard that you shouldn't fill completely to the max line? Not personal experience, just what i've heard.
