Before you rip it apart look at the countershaft its self.... Mine has striped before and I though it was a clutch issue. Anyways, if it is a clutch problem White Bros clutch kits are good, and so are ESR.

The countershaft is the shaft the front sproket sits on. If you take off your chain guard (if you have one) You can see it. (or at least the bolt that bolts the sproket onto the shaft) Put it in gear and go. Look down while your moving and see if that bolt is spinning faster than the sproket. Another way of seeing this is to take the sproket off and look at the teeth ON THE COUNTERSHAFT. If there are 6 teeth with no grinding marks then your fine. If thats all good and set, your clutch is probably fryed.

If the engine just reves and the bike moves slowly it is probably clutch related. Make sure that there is nothing binding the linkage down on the motor that may keep it from engaging all the way. If it is engaging and still slipping you probably scortched em. I get most of my stuff from rockymountainatv.com because they have pretty good prices and they ship pretty fast to. Plus I buy enough stuff I get a 10% discount. I like KG clutches, the barnetts don't seem to last to long and the only other's I would recommend would be honda clutches but they are high as hell. hope this helps.
