Not sure what's in there at the mo but I have terrible clutch slip unless the engine is really hot.

TLR250 is borderline for clutch slip at best of times, same basic clutch was designed for CB125 Honda single. Try an oil change using any suitable road bike oil eg Rock Oil, Castrol, Putoline etc . The TLR does not need exotic oil, a normal 10w40 or 15w50 mineral, semi synthetic or fully synthetic will all suffice.

I suspect that a new set of friction plates and springs will soon be required. - easy job to change, just make sure you get correct springs since 200 has lighter springs.

im of the understanding that fully synthetic stuff is so slippery that it may cause clutch slip to a perfectly good clutch, use mineral or semi sinthetic.

Motorcycle oil is made for engines with a wet clutch - synthetic, semi synthetic or mineral oil. The above does NOT apply to bike oils.

What happens if you just use automotive oil?

Does the engagement change when it gets hot?

Supposedly your clutch will be more likely to slip, cars no longer have wet clutch engines and some modern car oils can be 'friction modified' or contain additives which makes the oil more slippy.
