Long story short. we went riding today and was having a great time. Let another guy ride my 2004 Busa. all he did was take it down the road and and back again at about 60 mph and five minutes later. When he pulled up it was making a weird ticking noise then it started to sound like a rod wanted to come through the engine block !!! ( or so I thought). Opened the oil filler cap and it appears that some teeth or something is messed up on the clutch assembly(?). One guy said to get a clutch basket and replace it after draining the oil for any pieces of metal that may have sheered off. (Tried taking a pic but too tight a spot for my camera phone)
Trailered the bike home (Thanks to cousin Vinnie for coming to the rescue with my trailer)
I am no mechanic but my plan now is to take the clutch plate off and see what is going on in there.
Anyone have this problem before ?
I already searched the site for a similar post, but nothing that had the horrendous noise i was hearing.
My Buddy said that because I upshift without using my clutch lever, this added to the problem but I have trouble believing this because whenever I upshift like that it has been smooth and seemless.
