Sounds like the clutch plates are getting hot and
grabbing after you ride a little. The plates may
be swelling. If it got worse over a period of a
couple weeks, there may be other stuff going on too.
Could be something in the clutch slowly comiing
unscrewed.
Sounds like it ought to be opened up and inspected.
Not sure if 20-50 is the right grade of oil or not.
