There's a factory shop manual on-line here. It will explain how to adjust everything on the bike. Read, learn, then come back with any questions .....

Exactly what do you mean by worn? I ask because the original clutch plates rarely wear out. The springs get weak and need replacing usually. To find out for sure, you need to take the clutch apart and measure the thickness of the plates. Did your shop do that or are they just telling you to get new plates?
