Clutch Spider Nut Loose? (Pics inside)

I posted in another thread a few weeks ago about some sputtering issues I was having. Under WOT at around 40mph the RPM would rocket to 8500+ and it would start cutting out. The Hunterworks rep suggested it was the spider nut on the primary.

Today I was able to get the primary off and disassemble it. The nut was not hand loose, but I noticed there was a lot of slop in the bushing/shim that the assembly rides on. I took a picture of it:

Is that slop normal or is that the cause of my issues? Just tightening that up by tightening the spider nut should be good? Also, red locktite on the spider nut?

Thanks every one! Hoping to get this thing back together for a ride at Land Between the Lakes this weekend!

FWIW, this is a 2016 XP 1000 all stock motor and clutching with only ~300 miles.

Low speed vibration – carrier?

I have what feels like a low speed vibration. Don’t feel it when on the gas. Feels like rocks or something loose about to come off, feels like it might be under my feet. Came on kind of sudden.

What are the symptoms of carrier bearing going bad? I took the console off and moved the drive shafts by hand. Not much play just sitting still.

Ideas? All other components seem tight (wheels, a-arms, axles, etc).

Would like ideas and experience with this kind of issue – not all the ideas about every noise issue. 🙂 I have tried to read as much as I can. Most of the carrier threads talk about replacing, but not what it felt like.

Thanks!
