I'm thinking, but am not positive, that the weak clutch springs have something to do with it.
Anyone have this issue and found that replacing the clutch springs with new (non OEM) springs cured it?

The 500 is known for losing power to clutch slippage, so upgraded springs are a fairly common recommendation.

I wouldn't expect it on a low-mileage bike, but the cable itself might be bad and stretching. Lack of maintenance by the PO maybe?

You want Gen2 EX500 perches, so '94-'09 for that model.
