anyone know the lifespan of the clutch, should I change it?

Got the big service coming up (well a little past it..) seeing as the things going to be opened up for the valve checks, should I get the clutch done at the same time. How long do these things last? Have had no problems with the clutch( only the odd scrapey noise when very cold weather) but plan on keeping the bike for another two years, sureley the clutch wont last all that time?
Any advice gratefully recieved,
Cheers,
Si
:D

The valve shim checks don't need anything opened up other than the small timing hole, so don't let anyone fool you there. The clutch is pretty bullet proof unless it's violently abused (someone on here take note :lol: ) so it shouldn't need replacing unless the engine's done maybe 50-100k miles.
