Folks,
Just discovered that my clutch makes nasty grinding
sound when operated... how bad I'm f*cked, you think?
Is it something a clutch kit would take care of, or is
my throwout bearing about to go, or am I in for a big
overhaul? Thanks!

Grinding from where? What year bike? The clutch is easy to get at,
though I'd recommend picking up the Motion Pro clutch basket holding
tool (looks like a set of vise-grips with a funny jaw). You might have
the dreaded clutch basket broken spring (as per Elden Carl) if you're
riding a pre-96. Figure it'll be 3-4 hours work to get in and out of a
clutch inspection.
If it's a horrible grinding noise, I'd avoid riding it until you can get
in there.
