    How old is the oil and/or what kind of oil? I've noticed that this is the way my bike tells me it would like new oil.

    more torque lets the clutch break loose. sounds like warped metal disks in the clutch basket to me. Have someone local ride it, maybe a dealer mechanic and get a second opinion.
