Went to go to work this morning was going along in first gear then all of a sudden I had no gears. There is a whirring noise like something spinning inside of a gear. Will tear it apart soon. Am I looking at the spline do you think? I have never even attempted to take a rear wheel off but I am going to try.

After a couple of recent posts on this issue, I decided to check mine this evening thankfully all was good cleaned up a re - lubed.
The drive splines (the ones in the final drive) are almost certainly fine. A little scuffed, but perfectly usable.
If you'd rather just get this over with, the driven spline unit in the wheel is only about $140 brand new from several online vendors of Suzuki parts. If you want to save a few bucks and have the time to fart around with fleaBay, there's a list in another thread of which bikes to look for if you want to try and find a good used one.
Lots and lots of threads on splines around here. Here's one of the latest:
