The alumnum ones will be obvious if worn (they will look like a worn brake rotor). The secondary option would be to flush it out several times with kerosene. Put kerosene in the trans and kick away for awhile. Then drain and repeat a few times. Make sure to pull in the clutch lever while kicking so the plates spread apart. When you replace the oil, make sure to "not" use oil that says energy conserving in the lower half of the rating label. They are known to make motorcycle clutches slip. Alot of the 10/30 has this. Most 10/40 does not. Good luck.
Yeah, I actually already fixed that by putting a HD clutch kit in, now I have a carb issue.
