Not a lot..Take the Clutch cover off,Remove the clutch ..follow the manuals instructions.Takes a bit of knowhow to do it easily but it's a pretty straightforward operation. I wouldn't think not fixing it will cause any problems if you can't be bothered.

I did my 1984 XL350r last year a PITA. It's hard to find the broken off end of the spring. I found mine on the other side of the gearbox. Had to use all kinds of bent wires to fish it out. I have no idea how they assembled the thing at the factory either. Don't forget to preload the spring or you get to do it all over again. Good luck.

A impact driver makes getting the clutch nut off easier. See my old post on this job.
