When I try to turn my bike on it wont turn over. All that you hear is the starter spinning. Is it the Starter Clutch that needs to be replaced?

It can be the starter bendix is not engaging the starter gear into the flywheel. It can also be a broken tooth on the flywheel itself. Try pushing the bike and then releasing the clutch. This will turn the engine over just enough to move the flywheel. If it then engages and starts, suspect you have a broken tooth. If that is not the case, then remove the starter and test it by applying 12 volts and see it the bendix kicks the gear out.

2001 gmc sonoma it will not start you can start it by poppin the clutch which would indicate to you that the starter is ok you have replaced the starter relay switch and the clutch switch any ideas?
How do you figure the starter is okay just by popping the clutch? Popping the clutch uses the driveline to turn the motor over. The starter is not involved at all.

What is the purpose of the overrunning clutch in a starter?
With the flywheel spinning at about 1,000 RPM at idle, the starter, if engaged with the flywheel, would be forced to spin between 15,000 and 20,000 RPM. Once the engine has turned over and is running, the overrun clutch will release the starter from the flywheel and prevent the gears from re-meshing (as in an accidental turning of the ignition key) while the engine is running

How do you tell if the clutch switch is bad or starter on 87 celica gts?
Check for power at the clutch switch, then check for continuity through the switch with the clutch pedal depressed. If there is power and continuity, then the starter (or even ignition solenoid/starter relay) is the problem.

There's a clutch on the starter that acts like a Bendix gear on a car. This clutch is stripped out on your bike. You'll need to pull the starter to replace it.

the sprag clutch ( overrun gear ) is gone and needs to be replaced a new part can be bought but normally the complete starter is changed in some cases squirting diesel oil on the sprag clutch can cure the problem but it normally reoccurs again
