When starting there is a grinding sound like gears slipping. Starter is fine. Motor will turn over if pushed in gear. There are two allen bolts that were finger tight on the starter clutch. Could it be that those bolts worked loose and thats my problem, or should i investigate further, also is it going to be a pain to go a little further and look at that starter clutch. Please give as much info as you can, thanks

I could be wrong, but, you will probably need some sort of flywheel puller in order to fully service the starter clutch (IE make sure the rollers and ramps are OK and loctite allens screws back in). If you don't want to buy one (expensive and you'll probably only use it once) haul the bike to the dealership and see if they will pop it off for you for 5 or 10 bucks.

On my Kawasaki's the rear axle bolt has the same thread size that's needed to remove the alternator rotor. DON"T use a regular 2 or 3 jawed gear puller because you'll break the magnets. The clutch will be accessable with the rotor off.

Remove and inspect the starter clutch. Re-read my previous answer.
