I just bought a 2014 Maverick Max 1000 XRS with 60 hours and 310 miles. It seemed to be slipping a bit on my first venture into the woods. We opened it up to check the belt and the inner half of the primary clutch seems discolored and had rust near the center. From what I’ve read it sounds like this is probably caused from the belt slipping? Is it acceptable to knock the rust off and polish it back up?

Thanks in advanced for any help.
