It's simple. You need a FSM.

On scale 1 to 10 it is 1.
Remove cover, remove 5-6 bolts, holding springs.
Get a manual first and read 3 times before starting!
Check disk thickness, they are most likely not a problem! I repaired 5-6 clutches of different bikes, disks were always good!

New springs fixed up many a slipping clutch.

Clutch pushrod adjustment would be first order of business.

Good Fortune! :)
