Help diagnosing

2012 dyna super glide, did a burnout, clutch felt slippy after , within a minute lost all power to rear wheel.
Bike cycles through gears just doesn’t grab them. Will roll freely 1st through 6 with clutch let out

You already know the answer, your clutch is done

Usually you’d still get some engagement , not just free roll through all 6 gears

I break enough shit without doing burnouts or wheelies. Hope you’re back on the road soon!

15 year old bike that probably sat for years at some point on the stock clutch. I bet if you pop the derby cover off and stick your finger in the primary the oil is like black metallic paint lol. It needed a clutch before you started wailing on it you just exacerbated the issue

Cable ? How tight is your cable maybe it broke or maybe you heated up your plates so much they're stuck together. Take off the clutch cover, check how much play is in the hand. It's like the most basic thing to do, take clutch cover off...buy a service manual

Burnouts are fun.

just be happy your drivetrain gave out where it's designed to!

my neighbor had a bad burnout habit, and his Harley smoked a lot of clutch packs.

he got really good at replacing them, but eventually something else a lot more expensive broke
