what happened here

[sylverbullet57]

i drained the oil out of the engine and noticed a bunch of metal in oil .so i pulled the clutch cover and the inside of the cover showed signs of grinding im pretty sure this where the shavings came from .can anyone tell me whats going on here?i also took a couple more pictures to see if you guys can let me know if the top end looks good ,this engine ran really good before i tore the banshee down to the frame to powder coat and add some goodies to it .any and all replies are always appreciated.thanks mates

Since everything in the picture LOOKS tight, I would check to see if the whole clutch assembly is loose or wobbling on the shaft- look for a loose nut holding the basket/hub on or if the bushing in the basket is loose/wore or if there are missing washers.

Check if the clip and washer on the idler gear are on

my stock basket looked like that when i swapped it to billet.

That's what happen to mine when there was metal in the oil.

Just remember that if the idler clip is popping off it means that the bushing is mushrooming out and it needs replacing. Jeff has a steel replacement for a good price

Normal clutch wear leaves a black residue like that too.
