So if some idiot................
 
............puts GTX magnatec oil in there bike and has problems with the clutch slipping would he have to change the clutch due to contamination?

Just asking as a "friend" has put GTX in his SV :roll:
Not me...............honest

Planing on changing the oil and filter but have i contaminated my clutch plates?

Not having done this myself, I can't say whether "your friend" will be fine just putting in the right stuff. It's got to be worth a try.

Hey Ash, I had similar issues (clutch slipping) when I put full synthetic oil in my 2000 SV, I just changed the oil back to semi-synthetic and the problem went away withing a few miles, I wouldn't change the clutch, just the oil and oil filter, hope your friend can get this squared off!

Yeah, as said, and use engine flush and run the bike for about 5 mins with it in.

Don't bother flushing the engine - just change the oil, it'll be fine in a few miles, or it'll never work properly again.

But that's unlikely, I'm sure it'll be fine.
