Welcome to the forum.

The easiest thing to say is the clutch needs to be adjusted. Not a hard job but you may want to get a manual. Next would be the clutch spring, then clutch plates etc... I would start with the adjustment. Also, you may want to change out your primary case lubricant. If the clutch is wearing badly, there may be some junk in the case that could decrease the life of the primary chain, chain adjust guide etc.

Hope this helps....
