This weekend at Pismo my nephew was riding his moms 2004 400EX and said it just stopped moving. He got towed back to camp and i found it has no forward movement. It feels like it’s shifting and doesn’t make any noise when you let out the clutch. Can it be that simple that the clutch just failed with no warning? It ran fine, didn’t slip that I know of. Just cant believe that it just randomly failed with no warning.

So I had this issue with my warrior, tore it apart and replaced the clutch only to find out the lock tab on my drive sprocket came loose and the sprocket nut came off allowing it to spin freely. Felt like an idiot but learned to start with the easy stuff first
Btw let us know what you find

What was the nephew doing just before it stopped? Clutch dumps while trying to pull a wheelie? Third gear rev limiter starts? Sounds like this might be the loaner bike in the stable and it might have been slipping for a while and nobody noticed.
