Splines are the big issue, and it's impossible to check them without removing the starter. Unfortunately 30K miles is the sweet spot for a spline failure. There's no way in hell I'd buy a bike with 30K miles unless I could check the splines. I'd feel much better about a bike with 75K miles that has not had any clutch issues.
Speaking of the clutch, no, it's not true that they only last 9K miles. Most of them easily go 100K miles.
