The fingers of the clutch basket can be 'dressed' (i.e. filed flat) provided the grooves aren't too deep. I think the recommended service limit between the clutch plate tangs and the basket is 0.6mm so you'd need to see what the clearance would be with a new plate if you removed the grooves. If you'd be outside the 6mm even with new plates then it might be time to replace the basket as well or consider an upgrade.

I fitted a 48 tooth Sigma slipper clutch to my S2R 1000 - a much smoother take-up, slipper action and quieter than standard too.
