If the clutch operation is good ( doesn't slip or shudder or allows the 1st gear selection ok ) then I would replace the clutch master cylinder as it may be catching in the cylinder bore or be binding up and leaving too much play and the shaft is not properly fitted into the piston . Generally unless you have replaced the slave cylinder recently I would replace that also and then the clutch system is fully serviceable for a long time to come.
Your friction plate is kaput. Replace clutch system. Sounds like the pressure plate needs attention as well. No idea of price but get prices of "clutch kit" on the web and you can have an idea.
Yes, there is an adjustment that would have the effect of shifting the point at which the clutch engages, BUT, that would not correct what appears to be your problem. As the clutch wears, the point at which it engages shifts, moving further outward until it will slip even though the pedal is completely out. I suspect that your clutch is nearing its end of life.Toyotas are such reliable beasts however, it would make sense to replace the clutch. I replaced mine at 212,000 miles, and in now has 289,500 miles and is still going strong. Hope this helps. Dano
does the clutch lever release "sharply" and snap back after engagement? then lean bike over drain about a quart of oil, take off access cover to clutch and check to see if you have any broken clutch springs. if thats looks o.k. you"ll probably need new clutch plates. a real quick check when you ride the bike smell the oil, does it smell burnt? if it does, the plates are probably no good.
Your clutch is slipping, doing this might ruin the flywheel. I cannot tell if this is wear or more likely an oil leak (slipping that much is normaly accompanied by lots of smell and smoke if it is a slip, not with oil leak though)
You can have the clutch and the pressure plate checked.
If it is an automatic tranny you may try to drain the fluid and have it replaced or have the solenoid cleaned out or checked. The solenoid controls the hydraulic pressure to the clutch
I have the same problem with my 2001 volkswagen cabrio, but I know the solution.
You need a new clutch, or it will continue to slip.
If you cannot afford the clutch. You can "baby" the clutch by easing the clutch out, and eventually it will catch. (It should catch in a second or two.)
