Good chance if it's already slipped a few times, the plates will be glazed

The stock clutch won't handle much more than the stock HP. Depends on how much you have slipped it. It should have had a heavier spring put in it when the motor was done. You can always try one now and if it still slips then you need to repair the clutch
