clutch problem
After a gas stop, started my bike and major metal grinding sounds were heard. Long story short, a bolt from the clutch pressure plate had backed out and ground along the starter motor housing until establishing enough clearance to clear said housing. Removal of the starter allowed me to see all this, and easily replace the bolt with a fresh, unbent bolt, and carry on. Anyone else had anyting like this happen? Curious.

That's pretty odd. Is it a new bike? Under warranty? Probably one of those one-in-a-million bolts that got partially overlooked at the factory.
