Any Yamaha dealer should be able to do this for you. Plates are the same as an XT600 I think. Search previous posts for information.
Either that or contact a UK Yamaha dealer and ask for XTZ or SRZ 660 plates and get your local dealer to do the job for you.

No help on the clutch, but did you just get the bike? It looks quite clean.

You are really sure, that your clutch is faulty. I can't believe it! Probably you have the wrong oil inside... change it.... and use a motorcycle oil. A half-synthetic oil is enough.

I think what Scheffi is suggesting is if a car oil with friction-inhibitor additives was used, then the clutch would slip due to the additive. Motorcycle oils don't have friction inhibitors added.
I don't own a Baggy myself, so I'm not sure if they use separate oils for clutch and motor.

no seperate oil. I can't believe the clutch is bad. I have 15,000 miles on mine, and I abuse the crap out of it. raced it, wheelie all the time, back it in, still works great....

Exactly! I couldn't find the perfect english words for it! 
My clutch works perfectly (since 40 000 km).

The 660 motor runs engine, clutch , and tranny in the same oil.
If you're experiencing difficult shifting, you probably have a cable free play adjustment OR OTHER CLUTCH RELEASE issue. make sure that your handlebar end lever moves a quarter inch or so before the release lever down on the right side of the motor starts to move. Does the bike want to creep with it in gear with the clutch in? A dragging clutch will give you shifting headaches.
As far as oils go, don't use anything marked "EC Energy Conserving" in the round API label on the container. The slippery additives in these are not the best for a wet clutch. It also might be possible that the clutch has been fried and the plates are warped. This will allow it to hook up OK, but it will drag and probably engage unevenly - look for shaking when the clutch is released slowly. A competent mechanic an change the clutch plates in less than one hour, and check for boogered up hub and housing - wear can cause good clutch plates to drag. This can be fixed if it's not too far gone., otherwise you're looking at a bigger job to change the whole enchilada.
What do you mean "clutch fluid"?
Good Luck........

It sounds like adjustment to me and the clutch is dragging. Try to adjust it, or get it adjusted. It is unusual for a dragging clutch to be worn out.
