I was ill advised and used fully synthetic gear oil.
The clutch now slips.
So want to convert back to mineral.
Is it a simple drain and replace. Or more to it??
Strip clutch and clean off oil etc

There's nowt wrong with fully synth oil. You just need to avoid car oils, as they have friction modifiers that will make your clutch slip.
I'd strip the clutch pack, wash the plates in a solvent (petrol) and rebuild after soaking in your chosen oil overnight.

What did you put in it?
Fully synthetic bike oil should be fine
Years ago when I was skint I had a kwak 750 turbo that I used to stick any car oil in as I could sneak it on my company car fuel card 😆
Never had a problem but probably lucky
