Because whenever I pressed the starter button the starter sounded like a can of rocks. It would turn the bike over but sounded terrible, that is the first symptoms of the starter clutch going bad. The next symptom is the starter slips while turning the engine over. Then it just stops working and spins without doing anything. With the new starter clutch that did not work I ended up replacing the rollers and springs in that one even though it came with new rollers and springs. That fixed the problem.
And yes your starter clutch is inside the case. You can replace it with the engine in the frame via the oil pan. I got pretty good at replacing it.
