Hello fellow kat riders,
I have a 95 kat bought with no previous maintenance history :/ Recently I've been curious about my clutch. It is probably in fine condition, and there haven't been any issues with the clutch itself, but I get anxious about the parts I haven't installed myself.
I opened the clutch cover today to try and measure the springs and plates. I've also checked for wear in the various places noted on the kat-wiki. The problem is I don't seem to have the stock springs or plates. At least I don't think i do. Here is a pic of the friction plates I have.

The kat manual says the plate thickness limits are at 2.35mm mine are at 2.10ish.
The manual says the claw length limit is 15mm. Mine are like 6mm. The manual also says the springs limit is around 33mm but mine are closer to 50mm.
Do I have aftermarket parts? how do I check the wear if I do?
