My clutch lever has no pressure, if it had a cable it would feel like a broken cable that’s what it feels like. Any ideas on what it might be? Thank you

If you didn't do anything to your bike or clutch and this condition
came on real quick, it would be good to look up under your engine
where all the kickstand stuff is bolted on. If your clutch slave cylinder
let loose, there'll be a mess down there...

Try bleeding it first.  Make sure there are no air bubbles.  Might take a while to get pressure.  And as others mentioned. Look for leaking from slave cylinder.

The clutch slave has passages for fluid to weep out. Should leave a visible trail.  It's way in there though.

First things first, did you check that the master (I hope I can use that racist term here) cylinder reservoir is full?

I don’t really understand why. So I have no explanation but two Valkyries I help basically with rear wheel R/R for no apparent reason list all hydraulic fluid in the clutch. We had to back fill and bleed and all went back to normal. The initial symptom was as you described.
