Help!

I'm no bike mechanic and its been years since I did my own work (I'm putting my dealer's kids through college). That being said, in my experience, a dramatic clutch failure was almost always a linkage/control failure.

If your clutch is cabled, it may have come loose from its attachment inside the clutch cover.

If it's hydraulic, I'd check fluid/seal status. While you may not see it leak, your fluid level ought to be pretty low if it is.

Like I said though, I'm no mechanic but I'd check those things first before I dragged it to the dealer. Sorry, I don't know more and can't be more useful or specific.

However, I'm hoping it's something cheap and easy to fix in the clutch linkage and not a transmission fork or dog problem (though it doesn't sound like it since you can't disengage the clutch at all now).

My guess is there are plenty of competent "wrenches" here who will diagnose it two seconds after they read your description. Best of luck!
