The drive plate is what the weights are on and the outer clutch hub is at the top of the picture. The clutch assembly sets inside of this.

Here is a close up of a worn clutch weight. There is supposed to be material covering the whole weight. See at the end of the weight where the material is gone and metal is showing.

Is this the type of clutch on a pre-sportclutch 250ex? I've always wondered. It doesn't look that different than the old minibike/gokart clutches. Honestly, I'm surprised that I'm surprised.
