No clutch problems with Red Cap in the ~20K miles I've been using it.  
I started using it at about 20K miles, having used the Triumph/Mobil 
oil until then.

(FWIW, though, I'm going to switch to Shell Rotella T Synthetic 
5W-40--also available at Wal-Mart, but for only $13/gallon.  And, it 
has a "C" rating for diesel use, meaning it has more buffers and 
detergents so it should protect my engine better throughout the service 
interval.  See <http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html> for all 
the gory details that convinced me to switch all my vehicles from Mobil 
1.)
