My Dalton clutch kit has performed great up until about 500 miles ago. I have about 4000 miles on the clutch kit and 4500 total on the RZR. Most of the riding is medium speed trails with occasional dunes and rock crawling. Recently it started feeling like the clutch was slipping at full throttle. It would climb in RPM until it hit the rev limiter and then when you back off the throttle the RPM would go down but the vehicle would accelerate. I pulled the secondary and one roller had a flat spot. I replaced all the rollers (drive and helix). Still had the issue. I pulled the primary and found some severe groves in the tip area of the weights (see picture). This area I believe contacts the rollers in the weight heel area when the clutch is not fully engaged. The primary rollers look good with no flat spots or other visible damage. After describing the damage the answer I got back was the primary is only good for about 3000 miles and needs to be replaced. Also the replacement cost for the Dalton weighs if $280. Anyone know what caused this damage? Can I grind out these groves or is the curvature of the heel in the weights critical? Is the primary really only good for 3000 miles? Does the Dalton kit wear out your primary prematurely?
