QUESTION: There isn't very much play and we have adjusted the clutch seem to. Help a little but stiil slipping

Answer
Loosen the adjustment in the clutch cable and then adjust the clutch itself. then adjust the cable so you have about 1/8 inch play in it. If your still having it pull then your going to have to inspect the clutch plates for wear
good luck and happy riding
