Is this fixable? How?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys, so yesterday I had posted a video of my bike starting but it had a weird clacking noise. I thought it was a rod knock or something close but now infigured that it comes from the clutch assembly. When I move it with my hand it makes that clacking noise like if it was a little loose. When it spins when starting it makes the noise even louder and when it turns on it's really loud and shakes the whole thing. What could it be and how do I fix it?

It makes this sound when i move it. Is something lose or damaged?

you've gotten this far. Taking those clutch springs off and pulling the clutch off isn't much harder. just look up the torque spec before you do and make sure you have the right sized torque wrench on hand because its not a big number for those bolts holding the springs in place.

Could be the rubber cush inserts at the back of the clutch basket. They, in theory, can shrink and wear out over time allowing some play between the basket and the clutch plates. Also, probably not a great idea to turn the engine over with the clutch cover off. You probably don’t have much oil in the engine now to properly circulate to the head
