Well,I got home after riding around with the engine temperature at 90 degrees C and watched the fan spin for almost 3 seconds after my wife shut the engine off.
Looking at the front of the clutch with my inspection mirror it seems to have a bunch of crud coating it. I suspect leaking fluid.
One other test I may do is one I found on the internet. It involves using one piece of 1 inch masking tape. You tape one blade to the radiator shroud and see if it rips itself loose. No rip equals bad clutch.
I'm convinced enough that it's bad to go ahead and order a new one. Good thing I have the special tools already!
