symptoms of a clutch failing? (Lever sealed screw)

The rain held off long enough yesterday for a ride.. so i hopped on my bike and went out.

The idle speed seems a shade higher than usual of late.
I also noticed yesterday that the power seemed down a bit - it still revved the same amount, but didnt pull quite the same.

When coming back down the gears and letting the clutch out, it seemed "softer" when dropping down to 2nd or 3rd. - like there was less compression or something..(or clutch slip?)

Also the clutch seemed a lot smoother/easier to use when going up through the box too.

When you come to a stop and pull the clutch, it feels like it is taking a second or so for it to release, and then the revs sound odd.

Are these signs of my clutch going?

Thanks in advance gang!
