Default bad sounds when starting

I have a 95 zx6r. Went out to start the bike yesterday and got a wierd clacking or rattling sound when trying to start. It sounded really bad and i dont have good feelings about this. I waited about 5 minutes and tried starting again and it turned over with the starter but wouldnt catch like it has no spark. What would the awful rattling be? Could i have starter clutch going bad? It really sounded like it was throwing something around or like i was hitting the engine with a small hammer or something.

grab a free manual, sit down with a tall glass of ice tea and your banjo; contemplate the situation.

PS I'm in the market for zx6 front end and swing arm assemblies...
