I have a 1999 yamaha warrior. When I first start it and take off, the clutch grabs right away, spinning the tires. But after 5 min of riding, if I stop try and take off again, the clutch just slips and then eventually grab. Im assuming I need a new clutch or springs, but am looking for someone with a little more experience on the subject.
Warrior's don't have tranny fluid. They just take motorcycle specific motor oil for everything. First thing is are you running wet-clutch specific oil? You cannot just use regular automotive motor oil because the additives will cause the clutches to slip--but if that has been the case your clutches are now junk and need replaced anyway.
If I were you I would just buy a new set of clutches and HD springs and be sure to use wet clutch safe (motorcycle) oil to fill up the engine with--as long as you are sure you cannot adjust it to work.

I know, force of habbit from talking banshee and blaster all day long.
The new clutch is prolly a good idea. Make sure you soak the clutch plates in the oil before you install them
Supertech is Wal-Mart full synthetic. You could try to drain that oil and use a wet clutch safe motor oil--the easiest to find is Valvoline Motorcycle oil, they sell it at Advance and Auto Zone; or go to your local motorcycle/ATV dealer and get a wet clutch safe motor oil from there. Problem is normally once clutch plates get soaked in the wrong oil for a while they are normally bound to slip forever.
Like I mentioned earlier, you would really be best to go ahead and replace the clutch and be sure to use a motorcycle specific wet clutch safe oil.
Warrior's do not have tranny fluid, period. The entire engine and transmission is lubricated by motor oil.
