Default Clutch shot?

Just double checking your alls opinion before I go and get this done, or tear her down and do it myself.

The bike runs fine, shifts smooth enough but; The engage point is at about 80% clutch lever released. When full throttle at about 9,000 RPM's it immediately shoots to red line. I can't verify the exact RPM's there as I try not to take my eyes off the road, but when getting on it it feels like the clutch is slipping. Time to slap a new one in?

If you're using a synthetic oil, the bike may slip its clutch when cold. If not, it's time to change your plates.......what you describe is definitely clutch slipping.[X(]
Not a difficult job, if you need a manual, let us know and I'll post you a link.....

I have the manual you gave me for the brake lever, if you have another for me to reference, that would be great.
