Hey Xander...
I can't see how this sounds like a slipping clutch ??? I think he means that the bike is crawling in first gear (many people say a clutch is engaged with the lever pulled in, although its the opposite)
This would certainly also explain why gear changes are so difficult. Ever tried to go through a gearbox without using the clutch ??
A slipping clutch would mean there is little torque going through the shafts making changing easy and there would huge loss of drive power too.
In losening the clutch cable, I think hes got too much play which means the clutch is not fully disengaging when he pulls the lever.. Just a guess at this stage.
I don't mean to sound patronising as you obviously know what you're talking about...
Feel free to pull me up on this if i've misred something...
