Jason,

No adjustments. You need a new clutch.

There are lots of potential vendors by mail order. Check the links from
http://www.vtr.org. If The Roadster Factory has any in stock, they're a
safe bet to have a reasonable price. Same with Victoria British.

Make sure you get the right type of clutch - sometime around 1969 they
switched from a coil type to a diaphragm type of clutch. I suggest you
take the old one out first before ordering.
