HELP-Have to Power Shift!

Was on my way home today and went to shift and realized my clutch felt spongy. Every time I shifted I had to power shift and took a lot of pressure to kick it into gear. Came to a stoplight and barley got it into 1st and the bike still wanted to pull with clutch lever pulled so shifted into neutral. When I went to shift back into first, the bike slammed into gear and stalled. Finally got it home after about 2 miles and noticed when I pulled in the clutch, the entire pulley cover assy flexed out about an 1/2'' and realized that my lower aft pulley cover screw, (the long one that holds the exhaust bracket) was sheared off. Little bit of rattling noise comming from the right side of the bike and sounds like the transmission.

just replace that bolt.

pressure from the clutch pack is pushing back and flexing the sprocket cover.

been down that road when i went to chain drive.
