If there was ever a case of "don't touch it" unless absolutely neccessary this is it. On the oil, stick with what Honda say for your geography. A dealer who only has a big drum of "whatever grade" will make any argument for what he has got. Make sure it is motorcycle oil and not car/truck oil he has used.
Replacing the valve head gasket, OK, reasonable if there is an oil leak.
Clutch plates? Whatever possesed you to relace them ahead of time, you might of had another 60k-100K Km on them? If this was me I would have this stripped back out to look for a loose bolt, missing washer etc that could be ticking away. You should of just left this well alone.
Cam chain, unless the previous owners never changed the oil and left it in for 40,000km it should be perfectly fine. There would be no reason this thing has stretched beyond a serviceable limit.
If this is the only work that was carried out on the bike, and they removed nothing else, e.g. wheel, chains, sprockets, I would ask them to stip the clutch once more and confirm all is in order. If not take it somewhere with a better reputation and tell them exactly what was done by the previous mechanic.
