My bikes starter was spinning but would not start.To make sure of this
I pulled the stator cover off of the left side, pulled the plugs, and
hit the starter. The starter spun, the intermediate gear spun, and the
rotor gear spun, however the rotor did not. So face with this I
thought (easy fix pull rotor and install new starter clutch kit) which
is what I did. This job went off with out a hitch; I did not even get
an oil leak from the stator wire rubber.
Here at long last is the problem; the clutch started slipping again
three days latter. I pulled it back apart and there it was, every
thing spinning over except the rotor its self.
So, any thoughts, what is my next move?

Did you check the flywheel gear to make sure there are no missing teeth? If there is, the starter will just spin in that area.

Don't know why a new starter clutch would suddenly go south on it's own.
