'79 850G clutch question
Got my bike out from winter sleep, took it for a warm up drive. It feels like the clutch is slipping. When I release the clutch, it revs slightly then slightly bogs down as it engages. This is in the higher gears. Do I need a new clutch? If so, what do I need to purchase before opening it up? Also, if there is a clutch kit available, what brand or source do I get it from. Could it just be the springs? I want to do the work myself. I've watched a couple of videos on YouTube and it seems fairly straightforward but hate to begin unless I have everything necessary. All advice/links/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance!

There are many threads here on this topic. Many times, new OEM springs and a clutch cover gasket will get you sorted. Failing that, new friction plates. EBC is a popular brand that's cheaper than OEM.Ed
To measure is to know.
