Default stranded at work

94 sportster 1200. Went to leave for lunch and bike drove about 60 ft then stopped accelerating. Sounds like grinding gears and with it in first I can roll it back no problem. Makes a loud clicking noise when I'm rolling it. Any ideas? I'm thinking clutch but can't do anything until after work. Thanks guys

Did you take a look @ the belt...see if it's chewed-up??

Sounds to me like you broke your primary chain. Take the cover off, ought to be able to tell pretty quick.

Belt looked fine. Primary cover will come off in an hour or so when I get off work. Gotta love the money pit. Lol thanks for the ideas guys

Primary cover came off. Everything is out and it's all clean. Eveything is meshing properly. It feels like the clutch is not releasing and the only thing I cant get my eyes on are the pressure plates. Maybe the plates or even the basket **** kittens?
