Pretty much my 2006 sv650s clutch has been slipping, I managed to fix this a while ago by adjusting the clutch cable (clutch mantra) which fixed it for about a week or two, the issue returned, I then replaced all the friction and
steel plates with new ones, and did the clutch mantra again, the bike runs fine for the first 5-10 mins, but once its up to temperature it starts slipping when I twist the throttle. I'm out of ideas of what it could possibly be other than the clutch cable has stretched over time (bike has 58000km and I doubt its ever been replaced) but other than that I have no clue. (I'm not very mechanically inclined)

it only starts slipping when the bike warms up and I can smell the plates burning.

Any help would be appreciated I'm genuinely stumped.
