Burnouts shouldn't feck up the clutch that much, I did it to my old Dunlop 220 and needed no adjustment afterwards.

It really sounds like you've burnt the clutch out. Once you've got the wheel spinning you need to let the clutch out completely rather than half-clutching it, which I guess is, and was, your problem.

I've never had to change a bike clutch before.

As for the brake that's an odd one. Fluid leakage should be obvious. Maybe's you've burnt through the pads as well!

Got to echo Andrew I am afraid.It sounds like you have been screwing the nuts off the bike whilst slipping the clutch. You also must have been doing this for some time for such a difference to be noticeable.
I hate to be a pooper, but apart from just totally sh+gging the last bit of rubber on a tyre before replacing...I have never seen the point of this little trick.

If you feel the need to spin it up (the hooligan in everyone does ), put weight over the front, dip the clutch, whilst grabbing the brake to further unload weight off the back tyre, DUMP the clutch with it low-mid revs, then modulate your throttle and brake together to wheel effortlessly along with the rear spinning + smoking somewhat.

It's not healthy for the bike as it does strain all sorts of things, but unless you do it all the time, it shouldnt do any real harm (apart from the obvious destruction of the rear tyre!). Slipping the clutch whilst trying to do a burnout is one of the worst things to do to a bike clutch, and its a poor method to do burnies anyway.

Like everyone says, adjust it first before deciding its fooooked. If you can't do it, then trust some of your local lads. If its buggered then they won't bugger it any more will they? Chances are they will sort it out, and you will be able to get to brands.

I know that Rictus fits a set of clutch plates in less than 30 mins (which includes two fag breaks ). If the bike is leant over far enough you won't even have to drain the oil apparently.

You'll also likely need a gasket.
