Help - Clutch slipping on Fazer 600 1998

[Cartwheel]

Hi all,

little help needed or some opinons on this: from cold at 30mph the clutch slips at about 5000 rpm in 3rd.

Is it possible that this is just the clutch springs gone soft or the cable needing some adjustment? Or is the clutch dead already? If it's just the springs is that DIY'able for a relatively inept rider (changed the Final Stage Resistor in my e46 but that's probably the most techinical thing I've done for a while!)?

For reference the bike is a well maintained '98 Fazer FZS 600 with 21k miles on the clock.

Thanks in advance

Turn the adjuster inwards at the clutch lever, if that doesn't work you'll need a new clutch.

Will try this, prior to Fleegle's suggestion

So no-one thinks it's the springs then? 21k miles is a bit low to have the clutch go, Shirley?

Thanks all, perhaps I'll have a pop at changing the clutch myself and will report back accordingly...
