    Rs.1100 approx for the clutch plates (iirc just the friction plates) the steel plates i think are sold separately.
    You might as well get the clutch springs replaced when you get the plates changed.
    So essentially, ask them to get the 'clutch kit' part (which includes all the plates and the springs). This should keep you going for another 50k !

    No, my bike has the chain slider, there was some other jugaad kind of a thingy the guy was talking about, I'll get some more information on it the next time I head over to the ASC!

    Get the chain slack adjusted to spec, and also check the front sprocket to ensure it's two bolts and properly tightened. Make sure the chain adjusters positions on both sides of the swingarm are at the same position. And if you weigh more than 75kg (or frequently carry a pillion), bump up the rear suspension preload by around 2 or 3 notches up.

    I had the chain noise (tak tak noise at very low speeds) develop at around 28k km (stock chain sprocket kit). The front sprocket was worn, the rear was ok and the chain though had enough adjustment left. So picked up the P220 front sprocket for Rs.140 and replaced just the front sprocket and got the chain cleaned and adjusted back to spec. No more noise. Currently at 30k + km with only the front sprocket replaced . And btw, 70% of my clean/lube was done using used engine oil or a combination of water wash+used engine oil. The rest of the time I mostly used nulon grease spray (very useful in the wet or on long rides) and rolon chain spray.
    Even I have the same issue! The noise goes away after the chain slack is fixed, but then it starts coming back after about 200-250 km's! Basically, it'll not come until the chain is very tight, the moment there's even very minute amount of slack in it, the sound starts coming. The SVC guy said the chain is slapping the swingarm, and there's a rubber part that was fixed on some bikes, which eventually fixed it. Apparently, my bike doesn't have it, and the noise has been plaguing the bike really bad.
