    So:
    Bike running... and in any gear... clutch in... is normal?

    Release the clutch and theres some noise and the bike won't even creep forward?

    Bike off... in gear...clutch out... will it roll?

    "So you haven't checked or adjusted the chain tension?" ????

    Take the 2 bolts out of the small inspection cover in the primary cover and see if the chain is broken.

    When did this happen? While riding?

    I watched the video... Is it a "New York thing" to also not answer questions?

    I took the two bolts off nothing looks broken, this did happen while I was riding. The original clutch just snapped off at the lever. So I ordered a new one.

    If that primary chain is too tight, all kinds of funny stuff will happen. Worst case, just take tension off the chain and see if some of the issues subside.

    Sounds like a overly tight primary chain


    If you run that chain too tight for too long, you will damage stuff.

    This is the primary chain. There is a small shoe on the bottom that applies tension to the chain. It attaches to the primary cover so its not shown here.




    Here is the idea.




    Your transmission is behind the big sprocket on the right (where it says "fill to here"). You have to split the engine case to access it. If that chain is run too tight and damages the transmission (think side loaded bearings) you will be in a whole world of hurt. The motor has to come out and be completely disassembled to access it.

    If you took off the 2 torx bolts for the chain inspection cover. Is there a chain in there directly in that window that you can see and touch?
