Pull the clutch assembly apart I’m certain your starter ring gear bolts are sheard off to the clutch basket, that is the only logical explanation.

I never pulled the clutch off since I owned the bike ,is there a how to ,so I don’t eff anything up,thnx

Remove the chain tensioner nut and loosen chain
Take the front pulley nut off of engine. RH threads.
Take the 4 bolts out of the clutch pressure plate, and remove plate.
You can leave the clutch disks in place, but know they will fall out when you remove the clutch basket.
Remove the clutch hub nut. LH threads.
Slide everything off at once

Thnx,Greatly appreciated

You also may need a locking device for the hub and I use a good impact wrench to bust it loose.
There are many locking devices available and I have even used rags in between the pulley and chain.
Proper torque and loctite on install.

A rag works great.

Negative ,
Your pulleys are part of your primary drive. You have the transmission pulley and the motor pulley. I will see if I can find a video link for breaking this loose and post it

Check this out granted it’s a Harley but you get the idea. It pretty easy to do but it’s also easy to f shit up too

You do not need to remove the front pulley to get the chain and clutch out.

I'll agree with that on the 05 and newer primaries, but on the older ones, with the compensator, on the engine, you do.
