Try having it adjusted and change the oil.



On every vehicle, every single time (except once) I have heard %26quot;bad clutch%26quot; the person was dead wrong.

Mechanics included, until they have it apart.

I suppose it's possible, but on a Honda it's highly unlikely that 2hrs of abuse led to it's demise. It had likely been abused long before you got to it!
Well, for one thing you don't say what condition the clutch was in before you started riding. If the bike is already seven years old you have no idea how abused that clutch may or may not have been before you got it.



And yes, if the clutch is already less-than-perfect, if you ride hard or aren't smooth on the clutch -- which you won't be if you're just learning to ride, if you don't fully release the clutch lever while riding, it is possible to burn out a clutch in just two hours.
bikes have wet clutches, it takes ALOT to burn them out, change the oild and take it for a ride, maybe the person who had it before put the wrong kind of oil in, that can affect a bike clutch badly
possible? sure...



Likely? not unless the clutch was almost toasted before you got it...
I bet the previous owner abused the bike with clutch up wheelies.
Got to agree with the other posters. The amount of clutch slippage that might be caused by a new rider just learning to start off is not nearly enough to toast the clutch. An afternoon of full-throttle starts at the drag strip might leave the clutch a little crispy, but even then, it will usually be okay with an adjustment. Get a dirt bike stuck in the mud and try to power it out while fanning the clutch. That might fry your clutch in short order.



Unless you aren't letting on how much you really abused that clutch, it had to be pretty well gone before you got your hands on it.
Yes it is possible, but to know for sure, pull the inspection cover, and see if there is a burnt smell coming from the clutch pack. If no burnt smell then no burnt clutches(you will know) then follow jacobs advice and check the oil and change it, it could be low which can cause a bit of problems, since like has been posted, the clutches are %26quot;wet%26quot; meaning the oil, fluid, keeps them wet and allows them to engage and disengage smoothly.
You sure it's the clutch burnt out, or the cable needs adjusting?



The cable can be stretched in about 2 hours of riding, but not the clutch.



If the clutch has gone, it's had serious abuse before you sat on it. Unless you were just wheelying for 2 hours on and off.
see if it will adjust!
