Run with the standard clutch cover rockhopper. As I said earlier the only thing I can think of was that he slipped the clutch alot on this long gravel drive, and it was hazardous because I tried it when I took the bike for a test ride.

Could be SP, also he might have done a lot of town riding.

CLutch could have been adjusted incorrectly.
You say he was an old man so might not have had a good grip with the left hand so might of tried to adjust the clutch lever to a position where it mistakenly disengaged the clutch a bit and this may have caused the wear?

Blimey I've never seen a clutch that bad in only 1500 miles.The guy must have rode the bike with his fingers constantly on the lever.
As Glyn put it,rider error!
New clutch pack required then!
