clutch engaging in idle

Every once in a while my bike will want to move in whatever gear im in at idle. The idle speed is set properly. Is this something I can adjust or is the clutch spring getting lazy?

Crush washer on primary clutch is worn out, if you have the tools to break down a primary clutch, separate sheaves, crush washer is on the non-moveable side.

taking the clutch off is actually the easy part w/ a clutch puller or a 3/4" fine thread bolt(8 or 9") it's taking the spider apart where you need the expensive special tool.
