Clutch plates may look fine but might slip.

If the bike was sitting for years I would replace the clutch fiber plates.
What happens is when the bike is sitting the cork material is partially
submerged, and part of it is not in the oil so the plates are not consistent in thickness.

Also remember about tolerance stack up.
One plate may only be off .001 thousandths but when you
add up all the plates then it could be 7-.008 thousandths.
