Hi,
I haven't had any experience with your model, how long a clutch last depends on how you use it.
How long is a piece of string comes to mind.
However I have owned quite a few bikes with wet clutchs, which i've used quite hard and 16,000 miles doesn't sound to bad to me.
Slipping is the 1st sign that the clutch has worn out, it will show up under load as you've found out.
I think it's probably time for some new plates or heavier springs.

Steve
