slipping clutch, quick fix?

the clutch on the jet has started to slip a bit at about 45-50mph,

is there a quick fix with cable adjustment or will it be the plates that are cooked??

cheers

Re: 200 running rough

yes found out the problem!

the guy who fixed it said that it had a bearing and seal from a gp fitted onto the sx crank, which caused the seal to eventually blow

was rebuilt and so far its ok!
