Clutch won't fully disengage after burn out!

Yea yea, I screwed something up. Did me a nice little burn out, now the bike still wants to pull forward with the clutch pulled in. I think the lever feels good. What are the things I need to look at first?

Has a Rivera Pro Clutch, no weights on it.

Going to try and look at it myself before hauling it to a dealer. Any back yard mechanics in St. Charles, Mo feel free to PM. It has a 120R motor in it if you want to take a look at it and my clutch.

Pull your clutch pack you more than likely fried it. Put the steel plates on a flat surface I'll lay a twenty that they are warped.

I don't pretend to know much about the inner workings of the clutch, but I know from personal experience that a worn throw-out bearing can cause that to happen.

Thanks guys. I did slip the hell out of it. It was a great burn out, dang it. Now, I don't know if it was my imagination or not, because I was in the middle of this great burn out, but I thought I felt a pop in the clutch system during this bad burn out. Hard to explain. Make any sense. Haven't had a chance to look yet. I'm off work now, so will do so soon. Checking plates first as suggested.

I don't think i would do any more burn outs, hard on the bike no matter how you look at it.
