Echo Jambo's advice - be absolutely certain the adjustment is correct before condemning the clutch itself.
17,500 miles is not a long life from a clutch, not that it's definatley not knackered - I've seen shorter than that - but SVs are not heavy on clutches, so it's very definately worthwhile being quite certain what's amiss before opening the engine up.

Should it require replacement the job is not difficult, as said above on a Pointy there is the slight complication of the necessity to remove the side case.
