Well it could be many things, but here are some suggestions:
1. what kind of oil are you using? The DF250RTC has a 'wet plate' clutch and these clutches don't like full synthetic oil. Are you using too low an oil weight? I recommend 20W-50 oil its usually cheaper than 10W-40 due to demand and its just as good as the 10W-40. It say this because the engine is air cooled and gets very hot, so the hotter it gets the thinner the oil gets this could be causing or contributing to your problem.
2. Is your clutch wearing out? Sounds like it may be. Riding the clutch too much and dumping it are the major causes of clutch failure
3. Try using a transmission oil that reduces clutch slipping, if the problem seems to improve--even slightly then its time for a new clutch
hops this helps. JP
