Default My clutch is GONE! Need help please

Bike : 2007 cbr 600rr

Well, after 6 months and only 11k miles (yes I ride a lot), my clutch seems to be on its last stand.Point blank, I ride my bike hard. I do wheelies on my bike, I hit twisties (sucky oklahoma one's lol) on my bike, Ive taken it to the drag strip twice, Ive been to Eureka Springs on it, and I do the occasional my bike vs. my buddies bike race (all done on a closed course lol). Nevertheless, I didnt expect for my clutch to go out THAT fast but apperently it did. It really doesnt matter what gear I am, if I accelerate hard, the rpm's just rise and the bike barely moves (similar to if you were to manually slip the clutch). Its almost been 3k miles since I did my last oil change but I dont think that changing the oil will help this time. Does this sound like a standerd "my clutch is shot" situation or could there be something else going on? Also, what parts will I need to purchase to get my bike back in working order? I found this clutch kit and was wondering if this is what I would need if indeed that my clutch is messed up. Thanks

shouldnt have went that fast, but like you said you abuse the **** out of it so its no surprise. I got 50k on mine on the stock clutch. Kit looks right, make sure it has both disc n plates n springes. Only used part you should reuse is the basket.

is that for a bike or a car? If it has moly in it like most car syn oils do, thats what fried it.

Its for motorcycles. I forgot to add that I when I first started to do wheelies, they SUCKED andI would slip the clutch too much. I heard that that could decrease the life of the clutch drastically. Thankfully, after MUCH practice, I can actually slip the clutch and make the bike come up smoothly

Oops, forgot to answer your question.

Yes It deffinitely sounds like your clutch is going out. My buddy has a zx10r, same signs. When you roll on the throttle, bike barely wants to go anywear. He wanted me to ride it to see if I could figure it out. We changed that puppy out, and it was good as new.
