Clutch starting to slip. Spring or disks?

Couple weeks ago I replaced spring in Vulcan 1500, disks were perfect. Is that the same problem?

A slipping clutch is often caused by---

Incorrectly adjusted clutch cable
Incorrect engine oil
Gummed up clutch release mechanism
Weak clutch springs

Clutch plates can wear out, but it takes many miles and much abuse.
