how can i tell if a motorcycle clutch is on its way out

as the title suggests i believe i have a clutch or clutch cable problem as the bite is so far out its unbelievable and when your moving the tinyest movement on the clutch lever and its no longer engaged

also when you go over a bump going fast (on a dual carrageway for example) the clutch slips and engine starts reving so have to pull clutch in and let it out slow again then its ok

and lastly when your pulling away it judders as your starting to move but once your moving its fine

if any 1 knows whats wrong please let me know thanks

 

The clutch cable could be adjusted too far out. Screw the cable fitting at the lever end all the way in and see how that feels. Also see if it has any adjustment at the engine side. If the cable adjustment makes no difference then you'll have to have the plates out and measure them to see if they are below the minimum thickness.
