Clutch cover off, in the center of the hub there is a small allen bolt and a locknut. Break the nut loose and back it off. Run the screw all the way out and clean it with brake cleaner and the hole too.
Run the screw in all the way and back it off three turns. put a drop of blue locktite on the screw and run the jamb nut down good and snug so it dont back out on its own cause that is bad news.

If you want to do a more thurough job pull all the bolts and look at the clutch and measure it to the specs. or at least make sure that the fibres have not work thru the groves cause than it would really be shot. If it is ok rotate all the clutches and fibers to different positions after you hammer the bent ears flat and you will get more life out of it or some time while you save for a new clutch pack. Add a steel to the beginning of the stack when you replace it and the first couple of fiber ears will not bend up so bad. You can also get slightly stiffer springs that will make it probably outlast the rest of the motor.

If the machine is just slightly creeping, and the plates are not worn out, you can go 2
turns inward at the center adjuster mentioned above.
Before closing it up, watch the pressure plate as you work the clutch. You should see about 1mm of outward travel,... and then full close-up of the stack before the clutch lever makes it back off of the master cylinder. Use 90-degree circlip pliers to hold the locking ring from turning.
