What's the betting he has the engine running and is walking along beside the bike with a few revs on - just enough to engage the clutch a bit. It isn't going to get hot just pushing it along, the engine has to be running.

Guys i actually think i know whats wrong, you know how you can touch the clutch through the housing? well the clutch inside the housing is not supposed to be hot on the side you can touch ay? its only supposed to be hot on the shoes of the clutch because thats where the friction happens when it spins fast enough, is that right?http://www.skytribe.co.za/Freebies/centclutch1.jpg

The clutch hub is what you can see spinning when you push your bike.... with your engine running this hub will also heat up as it's connected to the engine and the engine heats up causing heat sink through the whole engine and everything connected to it. The clutch pads will heat up when working but everything they touch will also heat up so this also includes the hub. End of the day your bike is safe to push round by hand as theres nothing to go wrong and heat in the clutch area is normal.
