Agree with Long Ranger and Ferret. Before changing the clutch, you might call the previous owner and ask him what kind of oil he used and if any additives. It's possible he used a synthetic or synthetic blend with moly which might cause clutch slippage.
Draining the oil and filter into a clean pan may also let you know if the clutch is burnt if there is an acrid smell or clutch material in the oil. STP or other additives might cause the slippage too.
It's rare to hear of a burnt clutch on bikes these days.
