Clutch questions?

Hi All, Just a couple of questions, is the service limit on a 916 bip clutch plate 2.8mm? and if so what’s the thickness of a new plate? What sort of life expectancy should I expect (miles), and how much are a new set.

Just checked mine and all plates are below the minimum some down to the steel plate, nothing unusual there but the bike has only done 1500 miles and I’d expected to find a clutch as good as new.

Now there's no sign of abuse as the original tyres are on it still showing the pips, etc. But it was a 60 year old bloke who had it and to get onto the road he had to go up a long gravel drive?

The plates also show signs of getting hot.
