Dress for fall & avoid it
It had been some time since I read the initial post, and I didn't re-read the first portion when replying. Ahhh, the mind gets lazy. ;-)
That gives me a better understanding of what you're experiencing. Unfortunately, while I have plenty of experience with both wet and dry clutches and have rebuilt a few, I'm definitely no expert and your experience has me scratching my head.
Should be able to eliminate the slipper-clutch as a culprit, however, as it works on deceleration only.
It sounds as though it might almost be that the clutch plate is grabbing at low speed. Many years ago when I worked on my Norton clutches some folks would run across a similar scenario if there was certain contaminates on the plates, others would make them slip but certain ones would make them grab initially and it took a bit for them to release.
Has it occurred in both 1st and 2nd gears? Any other gears?
