How to tell if clutch needs replacement
So my boy was hot rodding around and messed his bike up. It wont go now. I believe its the clutch.
I took the primary apart and the oil smells terribly burnt. I took the clutch plates and spring out of the clutch basket.
Nothing looks wrong. But im no mechanic. Can any one describe how a bad clutch looks?
Or post pictures for comparison?

Possible... but if he lost all his splines it would be grinding bad as it would not be a 'smooth' shear.
Depends on if the clutch simply "went away" or 'bang-stopped-working'.
However, since I was just in my primary, I know that '07 and up will fracturre/shear the inner splines on the clutch hub.

Yep, for sure, and isn't it amazing that so many people will chime in with a fix without getting all the info to make an informed diagnosis? I learned long ago to ask enough question to lead me in the right direction so I could fix the problem the customer was complaining about, and not something else. One can find any number of problems, but finding the exact problem they are concerned with can be tough, but that is what is expected of a wrench.
