Default clutch cable

my clutch is still slipping, ive tried 3 different oils, and still no luck, mineral oil has helped a ton compared to sythetic, made my bike run tons smoother than the rotella t synthetic. that was good stuff but i doubt ill run it again.
anyways, ive looked and looked and i cannot find this info, how much slack should be in my clutch cable? i think its too tight-there is no slack whatsoever but its adjusted all the way at both the clutch cover and lever, where else can i adjust it? also does anyone have pics of the clutch actuator arm-i am curious to see the angle of one that works properly compared to mine.
thank you for your help

thats what im thinking i may need to do. i just wanna be sure of this one thing first before i get some and change them out. the clutch only has 10000 miles or so on it. so its not terribly old. ive heard heavier springs might fix it too.
i wanna make sure my cables not too tight first before i ask about springs tho

ya your plates are fried then, and i got a set of oem friction plates from a friend for a hundo. but barnetts are good and there are a few other brands. the only problem you may have is some brands dont like synthetic oil, so it may be a trail and error with oil.
