Default Clutch-adjustment or whole new one

I got a 92 lt250r and the clutch is not engaging all the way. If i give it a little gas when putting it into gear it will go but it wont idle in gear or stand still. I tried adjusting the lever and cord but nohting happened. i haven't tried opening it up yet but i dont want to if i dont have to. If it is just an adjustment, how should i do it (dont have a manual) and if i need a new one, which one do you recommend and where can i get it?

Any help is appreciated!

You adjust the clutch cable at the lever. It should have a lil freeplay in it. Adjust it too tight and it'll do what your saying.
IMO, I think it's your clutch basket wore. It does exactly like you explained. The clutch fibers/discs wear grooves in the basket thus the clutchs won't slide correct.
You can file/grind the grooves out but it's not advised by Zuki (I have done it).
I like to use stock parts.
Hope that helps.
