If you can safely do so, take it out and see what RPM you are showing on the tachometer in sixth gear @ 66mph on the speedometer. It should be 5000 RPM. If you gun the throttle in sixth gear, do the RPM's rise rapidly with little increased speed to show for it? If so, then the clutch is still out of adjustment or damaged and may require replacement. The fact that it is now transmitting some power to the rear wheel, after it has cooled off, seems to confirm this.

Much sadness, I will try to get my bike up to speed…. Worried about breaking down again though…. I got a back road I can try that doesn’t have much traffic….
I am thinking they got burnt up…. I do not think the clutch stuff has warranty…
