Wot the 'andsome fella said. First off try taking the plates out and "hiding" the first couple of friction plates (which are usually the most worn) in the middle of the pack. Make sure you maintain any special dished or thin plates in their correct location, though (get a haynes manual is you haven't already got one). And a good clean-out and dust removal is a good thing too. You can probably get a bit more life out of the (outer) basket, but you'll be able to see how notched the grooves when the plates have been removed.
Easy enough to remove the fairing and clutch cover (note not all the allen screws need to be removed to get the cover off, from memory, only 4 have to come out). But be careful undoing and re-tightening the spring screws; it's quite easy to snap off the "turrets". Don't do them up too tight.
